A method is disclosed for estimating, at a given node of a plurality of nodes located in a deployment zone and defining a radio network, a topology of the radio network, the method comprising obtaining a position of the given node; obtaining a position of at least one other node from the plurality of nodes; obtaining elevation data in the deployment zone; for each two given nodes selected from a group consisting of the given node and the at least one node from the plurality of nodes; computing an estimate of a total radio path loss between the two given nodes using at least one part of the elevation data; comparing the computed estimate of the total radio path loss between the two given nodes and a corresponding maximum permissible path loss value between the two given nodes to determine if a given radio link between the two given nodes is possible; storing an indication of the possibility of having a radio link between the two given nodes; and generating the estimation of the topology of the radio network using the stored indications of the possibility of having a radio link. |
