Abstract

Mobile Communication in Nigeria is plagued with unprecedented drop-calls, cross talks and service unavailability even when the subscribers are credit worthy. The reasons for such reprehensible observations are either due to natural courses, inadequate network infrastructure or due to poor network design parameters. This paper examines the perturbation of mobile communications. The various causes of impairment are examined. Different scenarios of mobile communications environment are presented. The rocky environment to which the likes of Abuja are subjected to is also examined.
