4G LTE Detection using NEMO Handy for PFSR Support System

4G is the fourth technology of broadband cellular network technology. In year 2016, 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) has become one of the successful mobile wireless broadband technology and conduct a wide range of applications. Signal strength for 4G LTE is most important to maintain the data access demand used by various services. The demand for strong 4G LTE signal coverage for mobile services is increasing around the world. This paper presents a study on signal strength of 4G LTE network that focuses on Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameter that support the passive forward scattering radar (PFSR) system. In this study, Nemo Handy was used to detect signal strength, as well as support the result of human detection based on passive forward scattering radar system. Besides that, this study used a system called passive forward scattering radar that identifies any object that passes through between commercial transmitter and receiver that produces Doppler signature. For further study, this research was conducted at three different places, which are Dungun, Port Dickson and Taman Suria using 1.8GHz LTE frequency. Then, the data received by the receiver was collected and analysed by using MATLAB software. Conclusively, this detection of strong and poor signal cellular network may help telecommunication companies in Malaysia to provide better cellular network service.
