ABSTRACT
This paper focuses on an investigative study of the received Signal
Strength from a CDMA20001x network in a multipath fading channel. A software
running on two pilot laptops configured for drive test setup was used for the
network metrics measurement.In
this paper, received signal strength data were collected from a CDMA20001x
network in a multipath fading channel located at Emene, in Enugu state of
Nigeria using drive test method. The drive test ensures that at various
positions from the base station, the received signal strength values were
obtained. Also, we investigated the reliability and efficiency of the network
using the field data collected. The result obtained showed
that received signal strength depreciates as the distance from the mobile
station increases. Also result obtained showed that the BER of the network was
in the range of 10-1. A characteristic plot of the service provider network
test bed showed that multipath fading index in all cases was above 50%
revealing a dissatisfactory response for future generation wireless
communication systems.
