AB  - This paper presents path loss measurement and modeling for Lagos state 
dense-urban (DU), urban (UR), sub-urban (SU) and non-urban (NU) G.S.M 
environments. It was carried out with data collection through drive 
testing using TEMS software in the chosen environments Lagos-Island(DU),
 Surulere (UR), Lekki-Oniru (SU), Agbede-Ikorodu (NU), over a distance 
of 0.5-10Km from Base station (BS) to Mobile station (MS) with 
measurement taken at 0.5Km intervals for a period of 52 weeks. Relative 
parameters like Rxlev, RSSI, Path loss were measured in all areas of 
investigation under 2G and 3G frequencies of operation and twelve (12) 
different sites location were covered and analysed. COST 231-Hata model 
was used as reference model for path loss calculation of field data, 
this was further adjusted to develop optimized models (tagged OMODEEN 
models) for path loss prediction in all environments of study, which 
shows results within 6dB acceptable range, hence recommended for 
modeling in these environs and other similar G.S.M  environments.
