  • Abstract
    In this work we aim to present some results to provide useful guidelines for the deployment of IMT-2000 systems like WiMAX and WCDMA, in terms of uplink cell throughput and cell coverage capacities. For this, a simple link level simulations planning tool, based on four established path loss models applicable to three different Brazilian cities were done and the results shown that WiMAX systems, for analyzed frequencies, is more coverage limited, but can support higher capacity than WCDMA, specially for users that are near by the base stations.
