Abstract
A method of estimating wireless network coverage includes receiving location data from a plurality of mobile devices located within range of an antenna in a wireless network. The location data is mapped onto a grid of districts and down-sampled for respective districts of the grid. An approximate coverage region of the antenna is calculated based at least in part on the down-sampled location data.
