SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FINE-RESOLUTION MAPPING OF CELLULAR NETWORK COVERAGE AND CAPACITY

摘要

Systems and methods for fine-resolution mapping of cellular network coverage and capacity are described herein. An example method can include passively monitoring communication of multiple communication terminals in a cellular communication network, extracting from the monitored communication multiple data points and cell identifiers, and mapping an actual geographical coverage of at least a given cell of the cellular network based on the multiple data points. In particular, the multiple data points can comprise geographical positions that are measured and reported by the communication terminals while served by respective cells of the cellular communication network.
