Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
retrieving a list of cells that are served by a first base station from a site database that includes a predetermined threshold of geo-located samples that are beyond a good coverage limit;
generating a plurality of girds from the first base station to a predetermined threshold distance in the direction of the azimuth of the first base station;
identifying a plurality of selected grids that are between an acceptable coverage limit and the predetermined threshold distance from the plurality of grids;
determining an average reference signal received power from the first base station in a cell site located within each of the plurality of selected grids;
determining a median grid level reference signal received power for cell sites from base stations that are received at each of the plurality of selected gird;
evaluating whether the first base station is not a dominant cell in each of the plurality of selected grids based on the average reference signal received power and the median grid level reference signal;
determining a count of grids in the plurality of selected grids where the first base station is not a dominant cell site based on a dominant carrier threshold;
determining a column of grids where the first base station is no longer a dominant cell site based on the dominant carrier threshold;
determining a bad booming distance based on the distance from the first base station and the determined column of girds;
determining a second column of grids where the first base station is no longer a dominant cell site based on a booming start threshold; and
marking the determined column of grids as the booming start distance.
