The use of wireless local area networks, called WLANs, as well as the proliferation of the use of multimedia applications have grown rapidly in recent years. Some factors affect the quality of service (QoS) received by the user and interference is one of them. This work presents strategies for planning and performance evaluation through an empirical study of the QoS parameters of a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application in an interference network, as well as the relevance in the design of wireless networks to determine the coverage area of an access point, taking into account several parameters such as power, jitter, packet loss, delay, and PMOS. Another strategy is based on a hybrid approach that considers measuring and Bayesian inference applied to wireless networks, taking into consideration QoS parameters. The models take into account a cross layer vision of networks, correlating aspects of the physical environment, on the signal propagation (power or distance) with aspects of VoIP applications (e.g., jitter and packet loss). Case studies were carried out for two indoor environments and two outdoor environments, one of them displaying main characteristics of the Amazon region (e.g., densely arboreous environments). This last test bed was carried out in a real system because the Government of the State of Pará has a digital inclusion program called NAVEGAPARÁ.

A major application of electromagnetic waves, presently, in the area of telecommunications concern to links of wireless mobile systems. Be these terrestrial ones (indoor/outdoor) or via satellite, the designer of the telecommunications system must be able to determine the irradiate systems, the powers involved, the operation frequency of the system, the coverage area and the quality of service parameters. The planning of new wireless communications networks represents a great challenge to include advanced services with different quality requirements, the mobility support, high transmission rates and high traffic capacity. The several environments in which those networks operate and the associated phenomena produce several effects on the behavior of the received sign and, consequently, a variation in the performance of the communication link among the points of access to net and the users. Consequently, those effects should be appraised correctly, in such a way that the network dimensioning assists to the quality requirements regulated. The present work aims to establish a methodology for the planning of wireless networks for environments indoor, considering the parameters of the quality of services and the effects of the polarization of the antennas. An empiric model is proposed to determine the coverage area of that environment from an approach based in measurements. As a result of measurement campaigns, they were identified the main parameters that interfere in the losses in the propagation link. Standing out the materials involved in the environment as well as the polarization effects of the transmitter’s antennas, among others. Such effects, if evaluated correctly, they will allow to the planner’s net, in a critical way and with base in data obtained in field, to define the best parameters of configuration and project criteria for the implantation of a wireless mobile network. The measurements for determination of the covering parameters and of quality of services they were accomplished at the building of the Laboratório de Engenharia Elétrica e de Computação and in the classes building of the Instituto de Tecnologia da Universidade Federal do Pará. The measurement campaigns were used some frequencies, chosen due to the importance of the services available: 2,4 GHz - local nets without thread (WLAN's); 3,5 GHz - licensed WiMAX; 5,85 GHz - free WiMAX and 10 GHz (9,8 to 10 GHz band is not yet regulated, 10 - 10,15 GHz Amateur radio band (Anatel resolution, No. 452/2006 - D.O.U. from 20.12.2006) or multimedia communications services (SCM) for broadband systems). The main results obtained with the proposed model were evaluated and compared with the main models of the literature and showed that the methodology adopted for the networks planning of wireless communications in indoor environment had a good performance.
