PATH LOSS PROPAGATION MODEL PREDICTION FOR GSM MOBILE NETWORK PLANNING IN KADUNA TOWN
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Accurate characterization of radio communication channel through key parameters and a mathematical model is important for predicting signal coverage, channel efficiency and capacity. Outdoor path loss propagation modeling plays a fundamental role in planning and designing of every radio communication link. The ultimate goal in this work is to develop a model that can help in planning better global system for mobile communication (GSM) network and to address complain of poor quality of service by the subscribers, within Kaduna town. Outdoor measurements were conducted to precision at 900MHz, the overall average path loss detected were; 93.70, 88.50, 98.27 and 103.15 dB for MTN, Glo, Airtel, and Etisalat networks, respectively. The differences may be attributed to the nature of the environment or the location or antenna heights of the respective base stations (BSs), or weather fluctuations. However, the variance of these average values lies between 10 to 20dB, which is within the acceptable range. The empirical model developed from Log-normal shadowing model, which has a unique advantage of accounting for shadowing effects that may be caused by varying degree of clutter between transmitter and receiver, may be used in planning and optimization of GSM service within Kaduna town.
