Detailed Documentation

I have developed and shared a MATLAB program for generating cellular grid plots, specifically designed for coverage area analysis in wireless communication networks. Cellular grids are fundamental network topology structures composed of multiple hexagonal cells, providing clear visualization of communication network coverage areas. This MATLAB-based implementation utilizes geometric calculations and plotting functions to generate hexagonal cellular patterns. The program accepts input parameters including cell radius, grid dimensions, and center coordinates, then computes the vertex positions for each hexagonal cell using trigonometric functions. The plotting is handled through MATLAB's patch function for efficient polygon rendering. Key features of the program include: - Standard hexagonal cell generation using radial coordinate calculations - Customizable parameters for cell size and grid layout - Efficient plotting algorithms utilizing MATLAB's graphics capabilities - Support for multiple base station placements and interference analysis While the current implementation focuses on standard hexagonal configurations, the code structure allows for modifications to accommodate different cell shapes or irregular network layouts. The program employs vectorized operations for optimal performance when generating large-scale cellular networks. We welcome any feedback, suggestions, or improvements regarding the program's functionality, efficiency, or additional features. Your input will help us further enhance and optimize this tool for wireless network analysis applications. Thank you for your interest and contributions!
