RF macro-cell prediction using fuzzy logic: Case study in Bangkok City -Thailand

Abstract

This paper proposes an simple method to predict macro cell design using fuzzy logic approximation. The concept of Fuzzy logic was applied to predict path loss at 1 km interception point. The input fuzzy sets were classified into three sets namely, percent of buildings, houses and tree within 1 km radius area. A inference engine was then applied via linguistic rules which were trained by conventional point to point model in realistic environment. To check the proposed model, we compared the fuzzy prediction with other areas. The results shown that the fuzzy logic approximation provided an accuracy prediction and a user friendly prediction.
