Análisis de cobertura de telefonía móvil con frecuencias en LTE y con longitud de onda milimétrica mediante software de simulación.

Abstract

This article describes the coverage analysis for AWS band frequency (Advanced Wireless Services / 1700 a 2100 MHz) and millimeter wave (30 a 300 GHz), using the blocks of communication of a base LTE (Long Term Evolution) radio like a reference. The study was applied in Turubamba, Quito-Ecuador, using the ICS TELECOM simulation software. With the help of this software, we determined the best simulation parameters of LTE and millimeter wave (mmW), it took into account parameters such as: coverage radio, working frequencies, interference obstacles generated by clutters (houses, buildings, trees and others) ground characteristics and atmospheric factors (information provided by the official web site of INAMI). For the coverage simulation in LTE, worked with 2165 MHz frequency, while for millimeter wave used 71 GHz frequency, in this, was located different repeaters for obtain a similarity between coverages. When the simulation was finished, the result was a higher amount of attenuations in the case of millimeter wave, also, compared the coverage that realized only one base radio in LTE with millimeter wave, what determined the placement of 14 repeaters (mmW) with the objective of look similar as the area coverage by frequency in LTE.
