Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the characterization and mitigation of signal attenuation in rural areas to improve broadband connectivity in Ethiopia. Signal attenuation is a common issue in rural areas due to factors such as long distances from signal sources, obstacles like trees and buildings, and terrain. Poor signal strength in rural areas leads to slow internet speeds and limited access to online services, impacting economic development and social inclusion.
To address this issue, this research will first conduct a thorough characterization of signal attenuation in different rural areas in Ethiopia. This will involve collecting data on signal strength, frequency, and environmental factors that affect signal propagation. Various measurement techniques such as signal strength mapping and field surveys will be employed to gather comprehensive data for analysis.
Based on the characterization results, this research will then explore potential mitigation strategies to improve broadband connectivity in rural areas. This may include the installation of signal boosters, the use of directional antennas, or the optimization of network infrastructure. These strategies will be evaluated based on their effectiveness in improving signal strength and connectivity in rural areas.
The findings of this research will provide valuable insights for policymakers, network operators, and other stakeholders involved in improving broadband connectivity in rural areas in Ethiopia. By addressing signal attenuation issues, this research aims to bridge the digital divide and enhance access to online services for rural communities.
