Parameter Determination for Radio-Frequency Modeling

During operation, an electronic device may perform measurements associated with an environment. Then, the electronic device may create a model that represents the environment, where the model specifies a two-dimensional (2D) or a three-dimensional (3D) geometric layout of the environment and/or estimated parameters associated with radio-frequency properties of at least a portion of the environment. Moreover, the electronic device may design a wireless network for use in the environment, where the designing includes determining radio-frequency characteristics in a band of frequencies associated with the wireless network based at least in part on the model, and the wireless network is predicted to achieve one or more target communication-performance metrics. Next, the electronic device may provide the design information associated with the design that specifies the wireless network, where the design information includes one or more wireless-network components and one or more locations of the wireless-network components in the environment.
