This chapter starts by presenting the Stanford University Interim (SUI) and modified Friis propagation models. Although the SUI model is being recommended for WiMAX, the comparison between the model and experimental results show that, in our environment, at 3.5 GHz, the modified Friis model with gama = 3 fits better the measurement values. From the analyses of the signal-to-noise-plusinterference ratio, SNIR, i...
Optimal planning for the integration of WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) technologies enables real technical conditions to make a hybrid Wi-Fi/WiMAX network available at the Health Sciences Faculty of University of Beira Interior, supporting nomadic applications like videoconference, voice over IP and communication of high resolution video/image. A simple wir...
his paper addresses the deployment of hybrid WiMAX and Wi-Fi networks for the support of always best connected telemedicine and health sciences education applications. The available services include a LMS (Learning Management System) and several structured functionalities for b-Learning. For the support of these services, fixed and wireless LANs have been deployed, as well as an experimental point-to-multipoint...
This paper addresses aspects of design for WiMAX wireless networks to establish a point-to-point, PTP, link with Alvarion BreezeNET B equipment, from the Health Sciences Faculty of University of Beira Interior to Hospital Amato Lusitano (in Castelo Branco, Portugal), and also presents the respective field trial with pre-WiMAX PTP equipment. The design of the link with relays had into consideration the carrier t...
