Abstract:
1. A base-station cell design method on a non-transitory programmed computer, said method being adapted so that, in cell designing in a mobile communication system, a plurality of base-station candidate locations are given within a service area to decide anyone of these base-station candidate locations as a base-station location while a radio-wave propagation characteristic estimation technique is used, said base-station cell design method comprising the steps of: as a radio-wave propagation characteristic estimation technique within said service area with each of said base-station candidate locations taken as a transmission point, the non-transitory programmed computer using a first radio-wave propagation characteristic estimation technique having a first precision; and as a radio-wave propagation characteristic estimation technique within said service area with a base-station location after a case where said base station was decided taken as a transmission point, the non-transitory programmed computer using a second radio-wave propagation characteristic estimation technique having a precision higher than said first precision.
