Analysis of 4G mobile network coverage in UTeM technology campus

Abstract

<p><span>This paper proposes an analysis of the coverage performance of 4G cellular services in UTeM Technology Campus. The performance of the cellular services is presented as the network’s coverage profile which is based on the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The area under study is virtually divided into 64 grid points where the average RSSI measurements are captured by using an open source software namely G-Mon. The measured values are mapped into the network coverage profile which represents the signal reception quality at each of the grid points. A statistical analysis called Two-Way ANOVA is performed to investigate the correlation of the performance of 4G cellular services in UTeM Technology Campus with the mobile phone brands and service operators. Based on the analysis, it is found that the signal reception in outdoor areas are better than that of indoor areas. In addition, the analysis shows that the propagation loss and signal degradation are two factors that contribute to the 4G services’ performance in UTeM Technology Campus. </span></p>

Performance analysis of millimeter wave 5G networks for outdoor environment: propagation perspectives

“…Recently, however, the attention of wireless communication has been drawn to the mm-wave bands, to take advantage of the unexploited wide bandwidth. The adoption of mm-wave communications is to harness the 20-90 GHz spectrum in mobile communication [16]. This will enable low cost mm-wave mobile backhauls to replace the current fiber connection, and provide an invaluable multi Gbps mobile system [17].…”

“…One of the obstacles in mm-wave band 5G system will be the high pathloss compared to traditional cellular bands below 6 GHz. Generally, the path loss is [2,20,16]:…”

QoS of Wi-Fi performance based on signal strength and channel for indoor campus network

“…This paper focuses on monitoring and measuring Wi-Fi performance for indoor in campus university network to identify QoS of WI-Fi network in a Campus university network [24,25].
