Abstract

The present invention provides a method for checking the degree of coverage in a mobile radio system. According to the method, field strengths are utilized which have been measured from all base stations for all important traffic routes in the mobile radio system. The field strength values are related to geographical coordinates in a respective coverage area and the highest value for each coordinate is stored. The values noted are then compared with a predetermined coverage limit value. With the aid of the method, a graph can be produced using the field strength values stored for each coordinate, the coordinates which are lower or higher than the coverage limit value being marked in the graph.
