Abstract:
1. Method for planning mobile radio coverage inside a building to be covered, including the following steps: position a virtual transmitting antenna with certain predefined transmitting parameters at any available location inside the building; determine the size of the coverage area of the transmitting antenna inside the building by means of a prediction method for determining the high-frequency receiving level, where the size of the coverage area is predicted in that the high-frequency received power level P verify whether the determined coverage area or coverage areas cover(s) the entire building, and if so: terminate the method; if not: increase the coverage area by changing the transmitting parameters of the virtual transmitting antenna; and/or position at least one other virtual transmitting antenna at any place in the building remote from the location of the first antenna and determine the size of the coverage area of said other transmitting antenna inside the building by means of the prediction method; continue the method with step c) of the method.
