Abstract

A method for locating concentration of mobile radio (MR) traffic in a coverage area 50 by identifying the locations where MRs (12) in the coverage area 50 are actively making calls. Signal strength measurements at test sites (40) of interest within the coverage area (50) are made and compared with signal strength measurements taken from operating MRs (12). A plot of matches can be kept and used to traffic the locations within the coverage area (50) revealing where concentrations in the coverage area (50) exist.
