Telecommunication Engineering and Radioelectronics – Radio
Communication, navigation and radar systems
(Diploma thesis theme: Cognitive Radio Use for LTE Networks in TV
Frequency bands – assigned by T-Mobile)
In this work was created a simulation of LTE network supported with
technology of Cognitive Radio. As simulating tool was used software
MATLAB from company MathWorks. The goal was to determine maximal
coverage and capacity of cells in TV frequency band.There was simulated
behaviour of the network according variable users’traffic and reaction of the
systemon a new TV signal in used band.
