Abstract :
Measurement of propagation parameters are essential for coverage and quality prediction. Commercially available planning tools are not customised for local geographical conditions, thus leading to inadequate service and unnecessary expenditure. Mobile WiMAX is under rapid installation throughout the globe. Present study made at rural areas of Rajasthan establishes lower path loss than the coverage prediction models recommended by WiMAX forum.
