Abstract: | The aim of this Final Year Project is to study and optimize wireless communication within the scope of the tunnels of the CERN Particle Accelerator. In this report, a model based on a ray-tracing algorithm is developed to calculate the e ects of radio propagation within the eld of a concrete tunnel environment. We will be analysing these e ects in the WiFi frequency bands. This will be done by devel- oping a Python based simulator. Our goal for our analytical tool is to provide us with a heatmap describing the signal intensity throughout the tunnels given a known transmitter location. Subsequently, this will help us obtain the neces- sary knowledge to be able to better model and plan the best transmitter locations in order to optimize coverage more e ciently. In addition to the aforementioned points, di erent scenarios are going to be considered, placing the transmitter at various locations within our context. The overall electromagnetic interference map resulting from the propagation within our network will be generated by vectori- ally combining the resulting radio propagation maps. Findings from our di erent scenarios are presented in this thesis. |
