Cellular Network Coverage Model

This work deals with a mobile signal propagation in electromagnetic wave form in a real environment of city microcell. The electromagnetic wave passing through the city environment is affected by many kinds of mechanism. It includes especially diffraction along vertical edges of buildings, diffraction across building roofs and buildings or ground refraction. These mechanisms are time variable. If we want to predicate them, we have to use sort of approached model. For an experimental part of this work, the Berg’s recursive model with a possibility of path loses or signal level prediction in a selected microcellular system is chosen. The software for a cellular network coverage is created on the basis of this fact. Its advantage is a possibility of up to five base stations placing and many kinds of settings, e.g. operating frequency, base station transmitting power, base and mobile station antennas height etc. There is a possibility of system GSM 900, GSM 1800 or UMTS choice. The Berg’s recursive model features are checked by simulations on experimental and real maps of build-up area
