Predicción de cobertura en sistemas LMDS/LMCS

Abstract

The growing demand for communication services such as voice, data, video, audio, multimedia y/o any combination of these has increased the demand for broadband systems. In this context, the LMDS system (Local Multipoint Distribution Service) and their Canadian version LMCS (Local Multipoint Communication System), which utilize minimum bandwidths of 1.3 GHz, have become in strong candidates to cover this necessity. In this article, an algorithm is developed to determine one of the most important aspects in the planning of systems LMDS/LMCS and of a wireless system in general: coverage system. Additionally, coverage radiuses in the systems LMDS/LMCS for temperate climates and tropical and equatorial regions in analytical way and through the use of the NETDimensionTM software are compared. Finally, the influence of diverse factors is also analyzed in coverage radio of the LMDS/LMCS systems.
