Mobile Wi-Max Network In cooperation with Jawwal

Abstract

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 Palestinians 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.
