RF Modeling for Terragraph Network Planning

This document provides an in-depth description of the RF modeling and implementation details used in Terragraph Planner's development process.

The tool takes certain key parameters as input that describe the functional range of any manufacturer’s equipment. These parameters cover the subcomponents antenna and radio units. The input parameter list also extends to cover additional details such as propagation modeling assumptions and higher-layer capabilities.
