Abstract

This paper focused on 2.4 GHz telecommunication network propagation environment characterization using Ray Tracing Algorithm. In this paper, a geographical database of the 2.4 GHz telecommunication network environment was created and replicated with ray tracing algorithm. Computer modeling was used to determine crucial channel parameters for the Otuoke suburban environment in Bayelsa State, including the path loss exponent, power delay profile, and angle spread of radio propagation environment at the 2.4GHz band. The result showed that the root mean square delay spread is 0.5539 and the mean delay is 1.1733. The result also showed that the root mean square angle spread is 58.650 and the mean arrival angle is 1630. The pathloss exponent results obtained also matched with the measured field data.

Keywords
