  • Methods and systems for selecting drive routes for testing RF coverage in a radiotelephone system
    Patent number: 6052583
    Abstract: An information processing system 700 tests the RF coverage reliability of a signal transmitted by a base station in a radiotelephone system cell. Information processing system 700 includes processing circuitry for receiving information characterizing the cell and outputing in response test information, the processing system operable to: estimate a radius of the cell; estimate a bin size for each of a plurality of bins partitioning the cell; estimate a minimum drive distance for validating RF coverage of the cell from the estimated radius and the estimated bin size; and select a number or road segments having a combined length exceeding the estimated minimum distance.
