The rapid increase in data traffic caused by the proliferation of smart devices has spurred demand for extremely large-capacity wireless networks. Thus, faster transmission rates and greater spectral efficiency have become critical requirements modern-day ubiquitous 5G is an end-to-end network capable accommodating billions linked offering high-performance broadcast services due to its several enabling technologies. However, existing review works on systems examined only a subset these...
Several orthodox approaches, such as empirical methods and deterministic methods, had earlier been used for the prediction of path loss in wireless communication systems. These approaches are either inefficient or complex. Robustness performance motivated adoption machine learning modeling systems place traditional schemes. Surveys on exist literature; however, emerging deep architectures in-depth analysis, taxonomies related to loss, analysis feature engineering missing already published...
Globally, effective and efficient healthcare is critical to the wellbeing standard of living any society. Unfortunately, several distant communities far from national grid do not have access reliable power supply, owing economic, environmental, technical challenges. Furthermore, unreliable, unavailable, uneconomical supply these contributes significantly delivery substandard or absence qualitative services, resulting in higher mortality rates associated difficulty attracting qualified...
Path loss propagation models are critically needed for optimum planning and deployment of wireless communication networks. However, the complexity exhibited by propagated signals makes prediction received losses difficult in built-up environments.

ITU-R categorized Nigeria into four rain regions (i.e., M, N, P, and Q) depending on the atmospheric conditions. Previous works that have conducted attenuation modeling simulations assumed similar signal propagation behavior parameters within locations under same region.
