Towards an IEEE 802.22 (WRAN) based wireless broadband for rural Bangladesh — Antenna design and coverage planning

Summary. This paper evaluates IEEE 802.22 Wireless Regional Area Network technology as a solution for rural broadband in Bangladesh. The authors designed antennas and modeled coverage across the country's flat terrain using computer simulation. They found that approximately 25 antennas could cover significant territory, making WRAN an economically viable approach for delivering digital services to remote areas, though point-to-point links would require additional infrastructure.
