Abstract
A method and system for automatically mapping areas of poor network coverage or high interference in a cellular network uses signal quality measures and mobile station location information. The system constructs a visual map that notes the locations of mobile stations when unacceptable base station-mobile station signal quality is reported. The visual map can be used for identifying areas of the network that may require remediation to ensure sufficient network coverage.
