Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for determining coupled path loss in a small geographical which is served by a plurality of transmitters and is subject to broad signal level variation. A method is also provided for determining performance of a signal received by a wireless device located within a bin of a cell of a cellular communication system. The method comprises determining the value of the received signal level as a function of the sum of the signal levels received from a primary base station at a primary cell divided by a number of signal level measurements from the primary base station.
