Abstract :
In this review, it was determined that the
weather conditions that affect cellular networks in the sub-
saharan regions are temperatures, humidity, wind and
precipitation. Then a study of each of these conditions was
done to determine their effect on on Cellular Signal
Strength Quality and Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR). In
doing this, six related research works were studied and
reviewed, and certain finding or conclusions were
determined.
From this study, we can say that, the sub-Saharan
region's high temperatures have a detrimental impact on
cellular networks' RSSI; wind effectively attenuates
received cellular signals within foliage environments,
leading to fluctuations in received signals, particularly
during high wind conditions; a decrease in signal strength
parameters during rainfall at the user end of a cellular
network; and, lastly, an increase in humidity in the sub-
Saharan region, which was studied under the parameters of
signal strength and CSSR, results in a decrease in signal
quality.
