Modelos de propagación aplicados a áreas abiertas con tecnología LTE y ajuste de mediciones.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of propagation models used to measure power intensity levels in the Department of Informatics and Electronics Sciences of ESPOCH University, using Movistar's LTE technology. Using the Cell Info Lite application and Google Earth software, the base radio was precisely located and concentric circles were drawn covering 145 points outside the department, covering an area of 36400 m². Three measurement campaigns were carried out at each point on different days and similar schedules, with the objective of comparing the propagation models and observing the variations in losses in the proposed scenario. The results indicate a close alignment between the Erceg model and the measured values obtained from Cell Info Lite, suggesting that this model is the most suitable for this specific scenario. These results have important implications for LTE technology planning and optimization, especially in environments similar to the Department of Informatics and Electronics Sciences at ESPOCH University, since the selection of an appropriate propagation model, such as the Erceg model, can significantly improve coverage and network performance for Movistar users.
