1. About Us

• Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena: (www.upct.es)

– Research group of mobile communication systems (SiCoMo).

• Radiatio: (www.radiatio.com)

– Spin-off created from the research group of mobile communication systems of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena.

2. Project Objectives

1) Develop a Web tool for the calculation of radioelectric coverage on ArcGIS Server (ESRI).

2) Facilitate radiocommunication systems planification in lab student practices online � e-learning


CONTENT








• Worldwide increase in mobile communication services

need for planning tools.• Any radiocommunication system consist of:

– Transmitters– Receivers

3. Introduction

Receiving Antenna


– Channels

Transmitting Antenna

3. IntroductionRadiocommunication Problem � Digital Spatial Problem

GIS


• Solution:

3. Introductionpropagation model

executable file


• It is possible to develop a specific tool for radiocommunication systems � RADIOGIS

Required Radioelectric Paremeters

CONTENT








• RADIOGIS is integrated in ArcView as an additional toolbar.

4. RADIOGIS


• Software Requirements:– Windows PC.– ArcGIS Desktop Basic license � ArcView 8 or 9 with the extension

Spatial Analyst.

• Basic Functionalities:– Power, electric field or power density coverage.– Propagation models:

• Rural environment: UITR-1546 and UITR-526.• Urban environment: Hata, COST231 and Xia-Bertoni.• Indoor: Ray tracing and UTD.

• Other: programmable by the user, only for urban and rural environments.

4. RADIOGIS


– Percentage over threshold: using a vectorial layer which includes municipal areas, provincial areas, roads, districts, etc. or with reference to a polygon, a line or a rectangle.

4. RADIOGIS

• Limitation � RadioGIS works in a local mode.– It is necessary to install ArcGIS Desktop in each PC to use

RadioGIS.


• Need � A tool that works in a remote mode.– Students will be able to perform their lab practices anywhere.

• Solution � ArcGIS Server.

CONTENT








• Ability to create, manage, and distribute GIS services over the Web to support desktop, mobile and Web mapping applications.

• Allow us to transform the maps, data, and GIS tools used in ArcGIS for Desktop into fast, reliable Web services that you can use anywhere � It fulfills our needs.

5. ArcGIS Server


ArcGIS Server Architecture

CONTENT








• Development Environment– Programming Language: Java, thanks to ArcGIS Server provides

capacity to create customized applications in this language.– IDE: Eclipse + ArcGIS plug-ins.– Web Server: Apache Tomcat.– Supported Web Browsers: (Javascript must be enabled)

• Mozilla Firefox.

6. RadioWeb


• Mozilla Firefox.• Internet Explorer.• Chrome.

– Map1) Create the map in ArcMap.2) Published it in ArcCatalog as an ArcGIS service. It will be served

by a GIS Server.

6. RadioWeb

• Functionalities:

TASK DESCRIPTIONIdentify Features Get more info about a feature on the map

Measure Measure distances or areas

Create New BTSAllow to create new BTS just selecting a point from the map.


Create New BTSthe map.

Add/Delete BTSAdd/delete to/from the map the BTS selected by the user.

Calculate Coverage

Perform the Power Coverage Calculation in an area selected by the user. Before the calculation, the user has to fill in all the radioelectric parameters.

Add/Delete CoverageAdd/delete to/from the map the coverage selected by the user.

• Power Coverage Calculation Example– Create a base station on the map

6. RadioWeb


• Power Coverage Calculation Example– Fill in the “Radioelectric Parameters” form

6. RadioWeb

EIRP = 50 dBm


Sensibility = -82 dBm

Ht=10m

Hr=1.5m

• Power Coverage Calculation Example– Coverage calculation

6. RadioWeb

7. Conclusions y Future Lines

• Conclusions– A tool able to perform radioelectric calculations via Web has been

introduced.– RadioWeb is based on ArcGIS Server (ESRI) and is implemented

in Java.– Thanks to RadioWeb, students will be able to perform their

practices anywhere.


practices anywhere.

• Future Research Lines– Add other propagation models (urban and indoor env.). – Include other RadioGIS funcionalities (percentage over threshold,

power density and electric field calculation and profiles calculation).
