3.4 Ajuste Fino (Fine-Tuning)<br />

Cada estación se analizó en forma individual, bajando<br />

la potencia <strong>de</strong> transmisión al mínimo <strong>de</strong> forma <strong>de</strong> no<br />

computar la interferencia intrasistema, generada por<br />

las otras estaciones bases.<br />

<strong>La</strong> cobertura fue medida en sitio, lo que permitió ajustar<br />

el planeamiento agregando estaciones <strong>de</strong> alturas<br />

reducidas para lograr penetración <strong>de</strong>l tipo “microcelda”,<br />

con alcances reducidos sobre las sombras <strong>de</strong><br />

la cobertura inicial. Esto significa que la asignación <strong>de</strong><br />

canales <strong>de</strong> cada estación es susceptible <strong>de</strong> revisión<br />

en la medida que se agreguen nuevos sitios.<br />

<strong>La</strong>s áreas <strong>de</strong> cobertura previstas se han contrastado<br />

con mediciones realizadas en “drive test” en diferentes<br />

sitios <strong>de</strong> cada una <strong>de</strong> las localida<strong>de</strong>s. Para esto se<br />

ha utilizado software apropiado sobre un plano georeferenciado<br />

mostrando la intensidad <strong>de</strong> señal recibida<br />

y el ancho <strong>de</strong> banda transmitido.<br />

Para los “drive test” se han tomado sitios representativos<br />

<strong>de</strong> diferentes zonas <strong>de</strong> las ciuda<strong>de</strong>s. <strong>La</strong>s mediciones<br />

se realizaron en área urbana céntrica y suburbana.<br />

<strong>La</strong> cobertura se probó directamente con la notebook<br />

enlazando a la estación base asociada.<br />

<strong>La</strong> cobertura se probó en exterior y a nivel <strong>de</strong> suelo,<br />

por lo que se espera tener la misma performance<br />

<strong>de</strong>ntro <strong>de</strong> los hogares, en los ambientes que lin<strong>de</strong>n<br />

con el exterior. Se espera que las notebooks que operen<br />

cerca <strong>de</strong> una ventana reciban una buena señal en<br />

el rango <strong>de</strong> distancias hasta los 250 m <strong>de</strong> la estación.<br />

<strong>La</strong>s coberturas circulares previstas pue<strong>de</strong>n tener<br />

formas diferentes en función <strong>de</strong> las obstrucciones<br />

alre<strong>de</strong>dor <strong>de</strong> la estación. <strong>La</strong> separación entre las estaciones<br />

instaladas es tal que en las áreas a distancias<br />

mayores a los 400 m se solapan coberturas <strong>de</strong> estaciones<br />

adyacentes, por lo que pue<strong>de</strong>n lograrse línea<br />

<strong>de</strong> vista <strong>de</strong>spejada con uno u otro equipo.<br />

The foreseen coverage areas have been contrasted with “drive test”<br />

measurements, at different sites of each of the localities. To do<br />

so, appropriate software was used on a geo-referenced plan that<br />

showed the signal intensity that was received and the bandwidth<br />

transmitted.<br />

For the “drive test” representative places of different zones of the cities<br />

were consi<strong>de</strong>red. The measurements were ma<strong>de</strong> in urban and suburban<br />

areas. The coverage was tested directly using the computer linked<br />

to the associated base station.<br />

The coverage was tested outdoors and at ground level, reason by<br />

which the same performance is expected at homes, and in open environments.<br />

It was expected that notebooks that worked near a window<br />

would receive a good signal in a range of up to 250 m from the station.<br />

The planned circular coverage may have different shapes <strong>de</strong>pending<br />

on the obstructions surrounding the station. The separation among<br />

the installed stations is such that in areas that are at a distance larger<br />

than 400 m, adjacent stations coverage overlaps, and “line of sight” is<br />

obtained with one <strong>de</strong>vice or the other.<br />

Elevated level coverage evaluations were performed, complementing the<br />

ground level ones, in or<strong>de</strong>r to adjust the coverage requirements if necessary.<br />

In those cases where there are shadow areas, two strategies can be<br />

used:<br />

1. In the case there is a strategic interest building (school, library,<br />

public offices) that were left out of the coverage area, a CPE or<br />

a WiFi receptor antenna could be set un in the outsi<strong>de</strong>, and then<br />

perform the wired LAN access to the <strong>de</strong>vice.
