Abstract
Various research studies have been carried out by different researchers on the behaviour of radio wave within different environment under different environmental and geographical conditions. The models derived are specific for the respective environment. To validate the model, field measurements were carried out at different locations within Epe town and its environs. The measurements system consist of live radio base stations transmitting at 900MHz and 1800MHz. Downlink signal strength level data were collected using drive test exercise consisting of test mobile phones, TEMS investigating software, MapInfo and Google earth. The respective path loss values were estimated and compared with existing model like OkumuraHata model for rural, suburban and urban areas. The result indicated an appreciable consistency with the empirical models except for rural areas.
