## WHAT IS IT?

The model describes a radio environment in a wireless communication networks with mobile nodes.

## HOW IT WORKS
The nodes are distributed randomly across 16 x 16 grid-space, the frame rate chosen is 30 frames/sec at normal speed and the base station lies in the heart of the world. The wireless nodes maintain a constant communication with the base station and at any instance the characteristics of the link can be calculated and analyzed. Functions such as path loss, BER, SNR, EIRP, Eb/No, received power, communication range are the major elements covered by this model. The calculated values and messages are being reported in the reporter box and in the console window.

While the nodes are moving, they also continuously maintain communication with the base station and the values obtained from the calculation results due to varying parameters are seamlessly plotted each time the nodes move within the world.

## HOW TO USE IT

SetUp RAT button will configure the radio environment. FSPL and Okumura-Hata PL buttons will run the model and plot the results.
