Abstract
The software of the present invention predicts the performance of a wireless location system, including its accuracy, availability, and coverage. The tool can determine if the deployed location sensors meet, exceed, or fall short of providing the expected coverage and performance. The tool allows the location system designer to eliminate redundancies if not all sensors are needed and propose additional sites where coverage holes are present. The software tool includes a graphical user interface for ease of use.
