Abstract

A method of determining coverage areas in a communication system includes determining, by a controller, a plurality of base stations in the communication system and determining, by the controller, a Voronoi region for each of the plurality of base stations. The Voronoi region corresponds to the coverage area for the base station. Each location in the Voronoi region is closest to the base station than any other base station of the plurality of base stations.
