Research of Wireless Network Planning Based on WIMAX

The planning methods and tools for WiMAX wireless networks have drawn more and more attentions. This paper firstly introduced the planning flows of WiMAX wireless network and some key points in the process including propagation model calibration and link budget. Procedures and methods of frequency planning as well as system-grade simulation were discussed in detailed plan. And then the method for optimizing WiMAX wireless network was described in detail. Finally, discussing the integrations with other networks in the future, so that providing a practical network planning and building method for a communication operator.
