Terrain-based adaption of propagation model loss parameters using non-linear square regression

Abstract Reliable and real-time propagation loss modeling play a significant role in the efficient planning, development, and optimization of macrocellular communication networks in a given terrain. Thus, the need to adapt or tune an existing model to enhance its signal prediction accuracy in a spec...
