Abstract
Propagated electromagnetic signal over the cellular radio communication channels and interfaces are usually highly stochastic and complex with unequal noise variation pattern. This is due to multipath nature of the propagation channels and diverse radio propagation mechanisms that impact the signal strength at the receiver en-route the transmitter, and verse versa. This also makes measurement, predictive modeling and estimation based analysis of such signal very challenging and complex as well. One important and popular parametric modelling and estimation technique in mathematics and engineering science, especially for signal processing applications is the least square regression (LSR). The dominance use and popularity of the LSR approach may be attributed to its simplified supporting theory, relatively fast application procedure and ubiquitous application packages. However, LSR is known to be very sensitive to outliers and unusual stochastic signal data. In this work, we propose the application of weighted least square regression method for enhanced propagation practical field strength estimation modelling over cellular radio communication networks interface. The signal data was collected from a commercial LTE networks service provider. Also, we provide statistical computational analyses to compare the resultant estimation outcome of the weighted least square and the standard least approach. From the result, it is found that the WLSR approach is reliably better the most popular standard least square method. The significance and academic of value of this paper is that our proposed and implemented WLSR method can used as replacement of the standard LSR approach for robust mobile signal processing of future communication system networks.
