Abstract

A system that has an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a physical cell identity (PCI) scanner coupled to the UAV, the scanner covering frequencies using an omni-directional or directional antenna for capturing PCI data. The system further has logic configured to geotag the PCI data with a latitude, a longitude, an altitude, and a direction of the UAV, save the data in files for analyzation, and generate three-dimensional models using the geotag PCI data to find weak points in signal coverage.
