Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurement of some cellular networks in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Measurements were carried out using Radio Frequency Signal Tracker to determine received signal of three selected Global System for Mobile Communication networks (MTN, Airtel and Globalcom) at five strategic locations (Borokiri, Old Government Residential Area, Rivers State University, Ikwerre Road and Aba Road) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. From the results obtained it shows that in Borokiri MTN has the highest received signal strength of -61.9dBm, Old GRA Airtel has the highest received signal strength of -61.3dBm, RSU and Ikwerre Road Globalcom has the highest received signal strength of -68.3dBm and -64.9dBm respectively while for Aba Road MTN has the highest received signal strength of -63.0dBm. In all the measurements, the results were analyzed using least square method and standard deviation to approximate the measurement data and path loss model was developed using ordinary least square regression technique.
