Patent ID: 7286829

Claim:
A wireless network base station design method for selecting an optimal base station in a wireless network design system, comprising: (a) determining a sample point and a candidate base station area according to a predetermined reference; (b) analyzing wave propagation between the sample point and the candidate base station area and forecasting a path loss; (c) repeating the (a) step and the (b) step, and then selecting base stations among the candidate base stations based on the wave propagation analysis obtained by the repetition of the (a) step and (b) step; (d) determining a cell shrinkage degree in consideration of traffic and a cell coverage obtained on the basis of the selected base stations, and re-analyzing the wave propagation based on the cell shrinkage degree, wherein the cell shrinkage degree indicates a reduction in the cell coverage in consideration of the traffic and cell erlang capacity; and (e) selecting at least one base station required on a serve network area according to the re-analysis of the wave propagation.
