Updating analysis of key performance indicators of 4G LTE network with the prediction of missing values of critical network parameters based on experimental data from a dense urban environment.

ABSTRACT: In practice, field measurements often show missing data due to several dynamic factors. However, the complete data about a given environment is key to characterizing the radio features of the terrain for a high quality of service. In order to address this problem, field data were collected from a dense urban environment, and the missing parameters were predicted using the Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP) algorithm. The field measurement was taken around Victoria Island and Ikoyi in Lagos, Nigeria. The test equipment comprises a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a Fourth Generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) modem equipped with a 2×2 MIMO antenna, employing 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The Modem was installed on a personal computer and assembled in
