Exploiting Radio Measurements in Wireless Mobile Networks with Advanced Signal Processing

Abstract

In this study, we perform advanced signal processing on standardized radio measurements, available in wireless mobile networks. The application of non parametric regression and smoothing methods on radio measurements leads to interesting results, allowing the amelioration of radio resource management (RRM). Thus, we elaborate a dynamic estimator of the attenuation components (pathloss, shadowing and fast fading). We also propose ameliorations in the handover procedure using smoothing splines method. To conclude, integrating advanced radio signal processing in RRM mechanisms is an efficient and easy-to-implement way for a better use of radio resources.
