Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to wireless communication networks, and more particularly to methods and systems for determining radio coverage in wireless communication networks. In one embodiment, a method for determining radio coverage in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method includes categorizing each of a plurality of micro zones within coverage area of a Base Station (BS) as one of a User Equipment (UE) micro zone and a blind micro zone based on signal measurement reports associated with the plurality of micro zones. The method further includes estimating signal quality of a blind micro zone within the plurality of micro zones based on signal quality of at least one set of neighboring micro zones surrounding the blind micro zone.
