WiMAX

Support of OFDMA and SOFDMA technologies for fixed and mobile WiMAX planning

Customizible number of cells per site allows users to create square, hexagon or other cell configurations used in WiMAX networks. The functionality allows you to create frequency reuse plans, different cell placement patterns, and display nominal cells on the map.

SUI (Stanford University Interim) prediction model is implemented in Cellular Expert for WiMAX network planning. It allows users to define specific propagation parameters for different terrain types. The model can be combined with Line-of-Sight model and include correction factors due to diffraction, clutter and building penetration loss. The functionality allows you to calculate the received signal strength and serving areas for the best and following servers.

Adaptive modulation can be calculated with or without C/I interference evaluation. Cellular Expert allows you to define modulation parameters for each radio equipment model and calculate adaptive modulation, throughput and data rate distribution. 

A wide range of interference calculation and analysis tools can be used for specific WiMAX planning tasks. The interference calculation results can be analyzed along with coverage, adaptive modulation and other calculations.

Automated cell planning allows users to calculate optimal number of sites and sectors, sector height, transmitting power, antenna type and orientation for required serving area.

Cellular Expert provides functionality for connection of fixed or nomadic WiMAX customers to the serving sites according either to visibility or the required signal strength conditions. An optimal number of potential or operating sites is selected according to the signal quality requirements.
