Análisis comparativo de la capacidad y cobertura en redes WiMAX y 4G utilizando esquemas de modulación y codificación.

Abstract

The present Final Career Project consists of performing a comparative analysis between WiMAX and LTE technologies at the capacity level and coverage using modulation and coding schemes on the Matlab / Simulink platform. Initially, you have to work in the bibliographic search of titles and research works published in repositories and scientific journals. Then, a theoretical description of the wireless communications is made, such as WiMAX and LTE, which allowed establishing the theoretical basics for the development of the simulation scenarios. Subsequently, we had to think about the ideal simulation platform to model the WiMAX and LTE networks. An analysis was made between the platforms: Opnet Modeler, NS-3, OMNeT and Matlab/Simulink. The last one was chosen for its robustness at the time of making simulations using Simulink block diagrams. Finally, the scenarios for WiMAX and LTE were designed using modulation and coding, whose results were very good and which fit the parameters defined in the standards that operate these two technologies.
