## Overview

This is a single-file MATLAB GUI for interactively comparing cellular and cell-free received-power coverage. The documented workflow is to set simulation parameters, trigger recomputation, and view paired heatmaps with AP locations. The README also describes broader SE–EE and signal-processing research aims, but the available tree and source excerpts do not establish separate implementations or wiring for them.

Main entry points: [`Cell_Free_VS_Cellular.m`](https://github.com/kareemmas3ud/massive-mimo-coverage-simulation/blob/main/Cell_Free_VS_Cellular.m) (Coverage recomputation)
