Claim Text:
1. A method for estimating performance in a mobile network, the method comprising the operations of: receiving localized, user equipment measurement from a user equipment (UE) in the mobile network; incorporating the user equipment measurement in a set of user equipment measurements; determining at least one antenna characteristics model for the set of user equipment measurements; determining a path loss model for the set of user equipment measurements; determining an applicable antenna characteristics model for the user equipment measurement and estimate antenna impact on the user equipment measurement; estimating path loss related to the user equipment measurement; deducting estimated antenna impact from the estimated path loss to determine a localized, instantaneous performance measurement; and repeating the operations to generate a spatial performance map for the mobile network, wherein updates to the spatial performance map are based on further user equipment measurements from the user equipment in the mobile network.
