Abstract:
A mobile phone signal (also known as reception and service) is the signal strength (measured in dBm) received by a mobile phone from a cellular network . Depending on various factors, such as proximity to a tower, any obstructions such as buildings or trees, etc., this signal strength will vary. Generally, a strong mobile phone signal is more likely in an urban area, though these areas can also have some "dead zones" where no reception can be obtained.
In this paper technique presented is for detecting and storing cellular signal strength with locationcoordinates (using mobile phones) for showing the signal strength and dead zones of the different cellular operator over the map in order to give an insight to mobile phone users for selecting a cellular network according to their traveling route.
