METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING NETWORK COVERAGE

摘要

A method of monitoring radio coverage of a first communications network in the area served by a second communications network is disclosed. The method comprises instructing (102) a controller node of the second network to send to mobile terminals operating in the second network a message specifying a radio channel of the first network and instructing the mobile terminals to measure at least one radio parameter of the radio channel, and to report results of the measurement together with location of the mobile terminals. The method further includes receiving (104) in the first communications network results of the measurement from the controller node and mapping (110) the results of the measurement to determine areas where the radio parameter of the radio channel of the first communications network is not within required limits or where the radio channel of the first communications network is not received. Corresponding network node and mobile terminal are also disclosed.
