Algorithm 1. Kriging-aided process.
Designing the path loss:
1: Tune the parameters n and e in (4) from the tuning dataset.
2: Extract shadowing from (5).
3: Generate shadowing trough the Kriging-aided process: variogram and interpolation.
Modeling the variogram:
4: Calculate the experimental variogram.
5: Summarize the experimental variogram.
6: Fit a parametric curve.
7: if variogram fits to the first 3 lags then
Kriging interpolation:
8: Create the scenario through a grid.
9: Ordinary Kriging constraint: i=1Nwi=1
10: Calculate the weights wi and the Lagrange multiplier.
11: Estimate Ls trough the weighted average of the neighboring points.
Estimating the path loss:
12: L=Lfs+10nlog10(dd0)+e+Ls
