GSM Link Balance and Coverage Distance Estimation Tools

V2.1

Descriptions:
1.Applicable for 800M/900M/1800M network

2. Enhance the association of related parameters

and reduce the user input

3. Add link prediction and coverage estimation

when the tower amplification is used.

4.Modify the Propagation model function
