Abstract

In this paper, comparative study of RMSE-base tuning and multi-parameter-based tuning of Hata-Davidson pathloss model for a suburban area is presented. The study was based on field measurement of received signal strength carried out in a suburban area for a GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) network that operates in the 1800MHz frequency band. The results show that multi-parameter-tuned Hata-Davidson model has better prediction accuracy of 98.70720432% and RMSE of 2.177522885 dB as against the RMSE-tuned Hata-Davidson model with prediction accuracy of 97.42722692% and RMSE of 4.256897001dB. However, the RMSE is quite simple and easier to implement even in embedded systems and systems with limited resource.
