Aproximación de la calidad de voz y cobertura en una red GSM de emergencia
Resumen
En este documento se muestran los resultados obtenidos al medir los parámetros de calidad de voz en una solución propuesta de telecomunicaciones para la atención de desastres en situaciones de emergencia, haciendo uso de software libre para interconectar llamadas, protocolos de comunicaciones empleados en las redes GSM (Global System Mobile) en la banda DCS-1800 (Digital Cellular Service - 1800MHz), que facilita el uso de cualquier terminal móvil comercial, utilizando un USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) en conjunto con sistema de telefonía IP basado en Asterisk. El USRP se encarga de emular la operación de una BTS (Base Transceiver Station) al ejecutar las funciones de un PBX (Private Branch Exchange), permitiendo la coordinación de las entidades responsables de responder y atender este tipo de emergencias. Las mediciones del desempeño de la red se realizaron a partir de tres parámetros probabilísticos: GoS (Grade of service), DCR (Dropped Call Rate) y MOS (Mean Opinion Score). Con el uso de 8 terminales y escogiendo un GoS del 2% se generó un tráfico de hasta 3,6 Erlang. Esta medición se realizó empleando modelos probabilísticos de Erlang B. Se realiza el comparativo de la cobertura de la red aplicando el modelo Okumura-Hata sin el uso de amplificadores.Descargas
