Our project is divided into two stages, the first one is to design Indoor Wi-Fi For High Complexity Environments; Case Study is Nablus city center (Mall); and the next stage is to design a Mobile Wi-Max Network for Nablus City.
Wi-MAX is a standard based on wireless technology that provides high throughput broadband connections over long distance. This technology can be used for a number of applications, including “last mile” broadband connections, hotspots and high-speed connectivity for business customers.
This project with cooperation with Palestinian’s Cellular Communication Co (Jawwal).The objective of this project is to propose an approach to design a network on the latest standard of Wi-MAX namely (IEEE 802.16e) for Nablus city and Indoor Wi-Fi namely (IEEE 802.11n/g) for the Nablus Center (Mall) and to use it dimensioning and planning such network in Nablus city. In this project a review of Wi-MAX, Wi-Fi technology was given, followed by its standard with focusing on 802.16e standard. A design approach was developed to help network planner in their work, this approach was summarized in a simple flow chart. As a case study, a network based on this technology was designed for Nablus city. The number of subscriber was calculated for each district area and plotted in a clutter map. The Building Penetration Losses for each type of area were modeled using several measurements conducted as a part of this work. The design outcome (number of base station and there distribution) also calculated.
