In this paper, an optimal model is developed for path loss predictions using the Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) algorithm. Drive test measurements were carried out in Canaanland Ota, Nigeria and Ilorin, to obtain data at varying distances from 11 different 1,800 MHz base station transmitters. Single-layered FFNNs trained with normalized terrain profile (longitude, latitude, elevation, altitude, clutter height) produce corresponding values based on Levenberg–Marquardt The number of...

Deep knowledge of how radio waves behave in a practical wireless channel is required for effective planning and deployment access networks urban environments. Empirical propagation models are popular their simplicity, but they prone to introduce high prediction errors. Different heuristic methods geospatial approaches have been developed further reduce path loss error. However, the efficacy these new techniques built-up areas should be experimentally verified. In this paper, efficiencies...

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...

Path loss prediction is an important process in radio network planning and optimization because it helps to understand the behaviour of waves a specified propagation environment. Although several models are currently available for path predictions, adoption these requires trade-off between simplicity accuracy.

Propagation models are used extensively in signal prediction and interference analysis. Peculiarity of these gives rise to high errors when deployed a different environment other than the one initially built for. In this paper, we provide error bounds on efficacy at predicting path loss for 10 empirical widely models. The results show that no single model provides good fit consistently. However, Hata Davidson fitness along some selected routes with measured RMSE values less 8 dB. ITU-R...
