  • Patent number: 7289811
    Abstract: A method and system for estimating the number of transceivers in a service area (100) are disclosed. A calibration area (102) is selected from the service area, and a defined number of transceivers are placed in the calibration area. Input parameters are determined for the defined number of transceivers, which are refined so as to ensure that the input parameters satisfy a customer-specified requirement. The measured input parameters for the refined number of transceivers are used to calibrate a Radio Frequency (RF) coverage prediction tool for the calibration area. The calibrated RF coverage prediction tool is further used to estimate the number of transceivers in the service area.
