Abstract
A radio planning method and apparatus for determining the setting scheme of base stations in an indoor environment is provided. A radio signal propagation model is generated including a theoretical attenuation part and an environment affecting part. Through on-site measurements, a site radio signal propagation characteristics database is constructed combining the indoor radio signal propagation model and on-site measurement results. Based on the environment-dependent database, a radio signal map representing the radio signal distribution to be generated in the site in the case of placing any type of base station in any position is generated, using the indoor radio signal propagation model. By applying a signal-to-quality mapping, the distribution of a specific quality metric for any base station is obtained. Thus, by inputting different base station parameters, respective radio signal maps can be generated to optimize positioning of base stations.
