Coverage Predictions

Calculate coverage

Coverage calculations are controlled via the interce IRadioCoverage in IMariaRadioPlanLayer.RadioCoverage

To create a coverage file, we need to define some parameters, the most important is the selection of propagation model.

The list of propagation models can be found like this:

_propagationModels = new ReadOnlyCollection<string>(_radioPlanLayer.RadioCoverage.RadioPropagationModelRepository.PropagationModels.Select(m => m.Name).ToList());

Properties for the Coverage calculation is stored in

record CoverageProperties(int Resolution, int Size, AreaShape CalculationAreaShape, string PropagationModel, RxHeight RxHeight);

Coverage calculation is started with

var jobId = await _radioPlanLayer.RadioCoverage.StartCoverageCalculationForRadio(radio, coverageProperties);

If successfull, jobId returns a Guid identifying the job. Else the text string return error message. Progress can be checked with subscribing on the event RadioCoverage.CovDataUpdateProgress.

_radioPlanLayer.RadioCoverage.CovDataUpdateProgress += CoverageDataUpdateProgress;

...

private void CoverageDataUpdateProgress(object sender, CalculationJobStatus calculationJobStatus) {

   if (calculationJobStatus.IsCompleted)
   {
       ProgressValue = 0;  // the clients progress indicator
   } 
   else
   {
       ProgressValue = calculationJobStatus.TotalPercentCompleted;
   }

}
