Enhance Mobile Quality of Service using Topography and 3D Modeling

Abstract

Mobile communication plays a major role in today’s world. So telecommunication companies have to provide good services for their customers and, as we face now, having difficulties to build new of antennas due to high costs. Geographic Information System Technologies help us to solve problems that connect with telecommunications and quality of service problems using GIS’s and Cellular Expert. In this research we want to improve the antenna coverage in a way, that we have as much as possible integrated impact factors like topography, buildings or other obstacles like trees or other things that disrupt the signals. For this reason we are using 3D modeling techniques applying Esri’s ArcGIS tools, and the Cellular Expert software to simulate antennas positions and to calculate the intersections of the signal transmission with 3D buildings. Before accomplishing this task we have to build a 3D map using ArcScene for Level of Detail 1 (LoD1) models for buildings
