Method and system for directing users to coverage

摘要

The invention concerns a method ( 300 ) for directing users to coverage. The method includes the steps of detecting ( 314 ) when a signal strength parameter of a mobile unit ( 112 ) falls below a predetermined threshold, acquiring ( 316 ) positional information about the mobile unit and directing ( 322 ) a user of the mobile unit to a reestablishing coverage area ( 110 ) that has a signal strength that would cause the signal strength parameter to meet the predetermined threshold. In addition, the method can include the step of calculating ( 320 ) positional parameters between the mobile unit and the reestablishing coverage area in which the reestablishing coverage area is a coverage area ( 110 ) that is physically closest to the mobile unit in comparison to other coverage areas.
