description

Characterise the topology with network limits – identification of operating range for each model. Minimise Standard Deviation Error. Provide zero mean error Determine model parameters in accordance to realistic propagation effects existing within proposed regions. Make sure calibrated model corresponds well with the collected data – data is essential. Provide cost efficient Nominal Plan
