Path Loss Estimation for Some Korek-Telecom Sites Operating at (1.8) GHz and (2.1) GHz for Urban and Suburban Area in Erbil City

Abstract

This investigation deals with the identification of the suitable empirical models for predicting radio wave propagation path losses in Erbil city of Kurdistan region in Iraq. For this purpose, two sites of Korek Telecom operating at 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz have been selected at urban and suburban environments in the city and seven different empirical path loss model named free space model, ECC-33, Stanford Interim University (SUI), Optimized Cost-231, Okumura-Hata, Egli, and Ericson models are tested against experimentally measured path loss values. The path loss was measured experimentally using Sony Ericson handset with complete required equipment and the results are compared to that predicted by each of the mentioned empirical models. The results which have been analyzed through the identification of Root Mean Square Error value achieved by each model revealed that the Optimized Cost-231 and Ericson model provide lowest Root Mean Square Error values.

Optimizing Wireless Networks Performance Through Adaptive Machine Learning Strategies

“…A channel model for a future 5G wireless network was tried by conducting field measurements and data analysis with environmental parameters considering LOS and NLOS conditions. [2] identified the most appropriate path loss model for Erbil city, Iraq. Field measurements have been carried out to collect data at 1800 MHz for urban and suburban environments.…”
