Testing and Verification of WiMAX BS's and CPE's, Integration, and Developement.

My thesis work was based on UMTS (WCDMA / HSDPA) and OFDM Based Systems (WiMAX and Flash-OFDM). (Software languages included C++, .Net, and Matlab).

I worked on the given topic "Investigating the impact of scheduling, Traffic Models, and QoS on Network Planning of Future Packet Switched Flash-Based OFDM communication System". We used frequency planning tools (NetAct ), Rune (Rudimentary Network Emulator), Matlab, and C/C++ for programming.

I worked as a Radio Frequency Engineer. GSM Network’s Radio Frequency Planning, Nominal Cell Planning, Technical Site Surveys, Radio Frequency Propagation Modeling, GSM Network’s Optimization through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and drive testing were the parts of my job.
