Abstract
A cell planning tool capable of determining the correctness of stored parameters regarding a cell site configuration, e.g., regarding the height of an antenna section or the output power. The correctness of the parameters is determined by importing a number of in-situ signal strength-measurements from measuring points located within the coverage area of said cell site and predicting the signal-strength at each of said measuring points, using said stored parameters. Thereafter, the difference between the imported and the corresponding predicted signal-strength is calculated for each measuring point, and a value indicating the correctness of the stored parameters is estimated, based on said calculated signal-strength differences.
