    ANALYSIS OF SPECTRUM OCCUPANCY PREDICTION RESULTS FOR MAITAMA ABUJA

    This research investigates the efficacy of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in predicting spectrum occupancy in Maitama, Abuja, Nigeria, focusing on frequency bands ranging from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. The primary objective was to evaluate the accuracy of ANN-based predictions of spectrum usage and compare these predictions with actual measurements. The study employed ANN to forecast spectrum occupancy across various frequency bands, and the predicted data were then compared with empirical measurements to assess the performance of the model. The analysis revealed that prediction errors were generally low across all frequency bands, with most errors falling below 1.5%. Specifically, the 30-47 MHz sub-band demonstrated an average percentage difference between the actual and predicted value of 0.087%, with a maximum error of 1.12% occurring at frequency of 44.65 MHz. For the 47.05-68 MHz band, the average percentage difference was slightly higher at 0.106%, and the maximum error was 2.18% occurring at frequency of 50.2 MHz. In the 68.05-74.8 MHz band, the average percentage error was 0.040%, but with highest error of 0.232% at frequency of 73.95 MHz. The 74.85-87.45 MHz band showed the most accurate predictions with an average error of just 0.010%, and a maximum error of 0.174% at 75.1 MHz. Overall, the highest prediction error was 0.106% in the 47.05-68 MHz band, whereas the lowest was 0.010% in the 74.85-87.45 MHz band. These results highlight the high accuracy of ANN in predicting spectrum usage, demonstrating its potential for effective spectrum management and planning in Maitama, Abuja.

    STATE OF THE ART ON PATH LOSS MODEL DEVELOPMENT
    (Humminbird Publications and Research International, 2024-01-29) Ibukun Aderele Adeyemi; Jonathan Gana Kolo; Ajiboye, Johnson Adegbenga
    This is a study of path loss prediction modelling. Path loss modelling is widely applied in determining mobile wireless signal propagation in a given environment. This helps radio network planners to have an accurate view of requirements to obtain good quality of service when deploying radio networks. The empirical models are exhaustively analysed and compared with the emerging machine learning models. Also, mention is made of RIS models which are beginning to gather some attention due to their focus on the programmable electromagnetic properties. The study was able to establish empirical models as the most simple and efficient method of path loss prediction models. Attention is paid to the application of these models in both 900MHz and 1800MHz in urban, suburban and rural areas. This is due to the wide application of these frequencies in mobile wireless communication. The machine learning models present better results and give a high level of accuracy for diverse environments. However, they require large volume of data and environmental features extraction at both 2D and 3D to get reliable model. This makes it imperative to carry out field measurement tasks that are basically synonymous with methodologies employed in empirical approach to modelling. The variation in vegetation determines the best fit model for each particular case as well as the derivation of path loss exponent. The RIS modelling approach gives positive views especially at higher frequencies. The tuneable properties of the surfaces give a wide berth in application across different frequency spectrum. Complex and large volume of computation required in use of RIS implies that machine learning models, especially deep learning models will be better off incorporated into the process. It is thus beneficial to the researcher to ensure that a good grasp of the different approaches highlighted is obtained such that the benefits available are merged to produce finer results.
