Abstract

This article represents the system performance and its operation stability of a fixed worldwide interoperability for microwave access network operating with point to multipoint technology. It provides broadband access in fixed locations for mixed environments in Greater Noida, UP, India. The Field measurement for its capacity and coverage are recorded simultaneously to optimize a network by raising customer premises equipment (CPE) antenna height. This process is not going to alter any technical parameters of a network. CPE antenna is a directional antenna facing towards base station to achieve optimum LOS reception. The net changes in RSS 10---17 dBm, DTR 512---1.8 Mbps, path loss exponent 0.5---0.9 and standard deviation of 1.2---2.3 were observed by raising CPE antenna height of 2---5 m above the prescribed height. The path loss exponents for different environments are obtained using least squares method based on measured data by MatLab statistics tool. Standard deviations of signal strength variability with distance are derived. Real coverage of a network is presented based upon path loss exponent and standard deviation. Our result suggest that, raising the height of CPE antenna can reduce transmitted power, there for reducing overall maintenance cost and system interference in future.
