Um modelo cross layer para predição de parâmetros de desempenho em redes sem fio baseados em OFDM

Abstract

This dissertation work aims to create a mathematical model that performs the adjustment of data obtained from measurement campaigns using a prototype of a WiMAX scenario. The measurement campaigns were made at the Federal University of Para, using equipment which would enable such work. WiMAX antennas were used, one as a server, located in the building up of High Performance Network Planning Laboratory (LPRAD), and the other receiver, who was on top of a vehicle so that the points were collected. The adjustment method used was the Linear Least Squares. Through the collected data, the method is applied and their behavior is studied, checking how the optimization was effective in the cases presented. The use of relevant technology such as Internet access in some programs like NAVEGAPARÁ, the search for improvements or creation of propagation models and cross-layer analysis of the metrics used in the work, as the influence of signal to noise ratio in the loss frame, are motivating factors for this dissertation research.
