Abstract:
A method for indicating the hand-off region between a primary wireless cell and one or more neighbor wireless cells in a site layout system which determines the signal strength of the primary cell and one or more neighbor cells throughout a geometric area and stores said determined signal strengths in a computer memory, each of said cells having a cell boundary threshold signal level and a hand-off trigger threshold signal level, said method comprising the steps of:determining for each particular neighbor cells a first region within said geometric area wherein the signal strength of said primary cell is at least the cell boundary threshold signal level of said primary cell and the signal strength of said particular neighbor cells is at least the hand-off trigger threshold signal level of said particular neighbor cells;graphically indicating the position of each of said primary cell and each of said neighbor cells within said geometric area; andgraphically indicating said determined first region for each particular neighbor cell.
