Validation of the Unified Propagation Model for Wi-Fi, UMTS and WiMAX Planning (21st IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, Turkey - 2010)

Abstract
This paper presents the validation of the unified propagation model, the Lisbon University Institute (LUI) model, which is valid for three wireless technologies: Wireless Fidelity, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. With this purpose in mind, several experimental trials for those technologies were performed in different scenarios, where mixed environments (outdoor and indoor) were included. This generalized and unified propagation model was tuned by adjusting specific parameters for each different technology, based on the achieved results from the field experiments.
