Title: 場所に依存する無線周波数データを収集するためのモバイル・テスト・ユニットの効率な展開配置
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: 【課題】  効率的なモバイル・テスト・ユニットを展開配置する方法を提供する。 【解決手段】  本発明の一実施例によれば、複数の無線周波数解析ツールからの経験的データの要求を少なくとも一部満たすようなドライブ−テスト・プランを実行する。ある場合には、これは各リクエストを満足する個別のドライブ−テスト・プランよりも経済的である。この経済性が発揮されるのは、１つの位置にモバイル・テスト・ユニットを配置すると複数のリクエストに対するデータが得られる場合のみならず、複数のリクエストに対するデータが得られる場所が存在しない場合である。後者は、モバイル・テスト・ユニットをフィールド内に配置するための初期コストと端末のコストが高い場合に、特に当てはまる。 【選択図】  図２
