Ajuste de curvas aplicando a escolha de modelos de predição de canais de comunicações por ondas milimétricas.

Abstract

Wireless Mobile Communications Systems are on the rise in demand for resources, explained by the increased provision of services to users over the past few decades. One of the resources that is in shortage is the use of the band, in which several techniques try to reuse it, in the attempt to increase the availability of use of the spectrum. One of the options for spectrum expansion, and consequently of current mobile network services, is the use of other bands in the electromagnetic spectrum that were not yet used in mobile Communications such as millimeter waves. Communications that operate in the millimeter wave bands face technical obstacles, such as the need to evolve specific equipment, coverage problems and how these aspects affect Quality of Service, in short, the viability of communication requires a careful evaluation. There are fears that millimeter-wave Communications are far less favorable than the use of more usual spectra, especially in coverage-related problems. Network designers rely on several tools to predict the characteristics of the environment, in order to predict difficulties in signal coverage. For this, they use loss prediction models. In this work was carried out a study on the problems of coverage and propagation of millimeter waves in closed urban environments, being an office building and a shopping center. For this, several loss prediction models were used, through which we can identify that even with the use of recommended loss models for millimeter waves, the minimization of prediction errors is small, and compared with generic models.
