Abstract




The feasible choice of a propagation model for a given wireless system depends on environment type among other factors. Thus, it is a crucial decision on radio network planning. This current proposal is a new methodology applied for LTE systems that includes: to find optimal parameters of a propagation model that minimizes RMS error and maximizes grey relation grade and mean absolute percentage error, (GRG- MAPE) in a city-forest environment through the use of meta- heuristic optimization such as Cuckoo Search (CS). The results, quantitatively analysed by RMS error and GRG-MAPE, shows a better accuracy of optimized model in comparison with the original version and even with SUI model.
