A METHOD FOR COVERAGE DETERMINATION USING PREDEFINED PATHS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to coverage monitoring and in particular it relates to determining radio coverage, e.g. for small cell deployment in a building. The disclosure relates to methods for coverage determination as well as to corresponding devices and computer programs. According to one aspect, the disclosure proposes a method, performed in a wireless device10, of determining radio coverage. The method comprises obtaining S1 at least one path along which radio condition measurements are to be performed and performing S2 radio condition measurements along the at least one path. The method further comprises determining S3 position estimates, wherein at least some of the position estimates correspond to the radio condition measurements. The method further comprises determining S4a radio coverage using the radio condition measurements and corresponding position estimates and/or reporting S4b the radio condition measurements and the corresponding position estimates to a radio network node for determination of radio coverage in the radio network node.
