Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS TO SEPARATE COVERAGE LIMITED AND CO-CHANNEL LIMITED INTERFERENCES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2008073652
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Coverage and usage-based limitations to a wireless communications network can be estimated by monitoring network performance during a periods in which the network is relatively busy and relatively non-busy. For example, differences in distributions of bit error rates for calls in such time periods can be used to assess whether network limitations are associated with reduced-coverage zones or are usage-based. Such estimates can be used to target specific network features that limit network performance.
