does anyone of you know a simulator with which you can calculate or visualize the radio coverage, PER, RSSI, etc. between gateways and nodes? Maybe from amateur radio?
It does not have to be open source, but at least it has an API that allows you to configure the simulator and import/export data.
I would like to use your simulator e.g. in a Python script. This script could automate the optimization of the simulation. The results of simulation could be used to optimize some parameters e.g. like antenna height, location, power and so on. These parameters could then be used to re-feed the simulator.
for this task I have used this simulator: ONEPLAN RPLS-XML – InfoTel
And I am very happy with an easy user-friendly interface and big calculation possibilities, especially with a different visualization possibilities.
Where you can request a demo-version and try such features as a prediction of RSSI, radio coverage and to see the heat-maps and more: Feedback – InfoTel
