"Blue sky" research, like the one carried in large particle physics laboratories can be seen by the general public as something daunting, abstract, detached from daily experience and too difficult to understand. On the other hand, people are fascinated by the big questions, and by the complexity of the challenge the scientists are presented with. Since most of the research in fundamental...

Poster

Improving the prediction capability of propagation models by means of their parameter tuning with robust field test measurement has been a dynamic area of research in literature, but mostly using the least square (LS) tuning approach. One major drawback of propagation model parameter tuning using standard LS method is that it requires varying and incrementing one parameter repeatedly in steps...
