1. The document discusses a cellular network coverage analysis for the University of Jordan campus. It identifies 6 cell tower sites using mobile apps and determines their coverage radius and locations. 2. It uses a propagation model formula to calculate the path loss exponent and transmission power based on received signal power measurements at different distances. 3. Coverage maps of each site and the full campus are shown before and after a proposed enhancement to the network.

2. Introduction
1. Finding Sites Location:
Sites location is determined by using smart phone applications such as: Cell Tower Locator, Network Cell Info
and Network Signal Info which give the latitude and longitude of the cell’s tower and the approximate location
on the map.
2. Determining Propagation Model Formula:
The formula of propagation model consists of two variables. The value of these variables is depending on the
received power and distance from the site. Power received formula defined as follow:
𝐏𝐫(𝒅𝒃𝒎) = 𝒌 − 𝟏𝟎 𝜸 𝐥𝐨𝐠(𝒅 𝒌𝒎)
Where k represents the transmitted power and antenna’s gain. From received power readings at different
distances as shown in the table below, we find the average value for ϒ and k by substituting Pr and d into power
received formula to get four equations then solve the equations to get the answer.
𝜸 = 𝟑. 𝟑𝟑 , 𝒌 = −𝟗𝟓 𝒅𝒃𝒎
3. Cell Radius
From location area, we detect each site approximate coverage area and find the cell radius assuming that
hexagonal cell.
𝑹 = √(𝑨 ÷ 2.6)
Where R the radius of the cell and A is the area of each cell.
d (m) 50 150 250 350
Pr (dbm) -55 -66 -76 -81
