Abstract

A method of automatic path map generation (600) for use in a simulcast transmission system is disclosed which has at least three transmitter sites which form a first communication loop (403). The first communication loop has at least a first and a second audio path. A first audio path originates from a primary transmitter site (402), passes first through a first transmitter site, and ends at a second transmitter site. A second audio path originates from the primary site (402), passes first through the second transmitter site, and ends at the first transmitter site. The first audio path is associated with a first path condition, and the second audio path is associated with a second path condition. The method employed includes establishing (601) a logical representation of the simulcast transmission system. Then, selecting (605) one of the at least three transmitter sites for which a path map is to be generated, determines (902) a logical relationship between the primary transmitter site (402) and the selected transmitter site. Knowing this, the primary site (402) is able to calculate (708) a data set identification (ID) for the selected transmitter site that is associated with each …
