Abstract

WiMAX carries the promise of ubiquitous broadband wireless access enabling real-time and multimedia applications. WiMAX networks are being deployed worldwide to bridge the digital divide and to help countries with no previous infrastructure provide broadband access to users. This paper studies path loss and propagation models using deployed WiMAX network operating at a frequency of 3.5 GHz. The study is conducted in Amman, Jordan, which provides a unique and different construction material. Over 500 measurements are collected of received signal power using 3 base stations. The collected measurements are then compared to different propagation models including: SUI, ECC-33, and COST-231.
