Abstract:

A method for improving the display of the interaction between cells in wireless environment by a computerized site layout system is presented. Each cell has a cell boundary threshold signal level and a hand-off trigger threshold signal level. After the signal strengths of the cells throughout the environment are calculated, the signal strength data is examined to determine for a primary cell and each of its neighbor cells, in turn, a handoff region where the signal strength of said primary cell is at least equal to its cell boundary threshold signal level and the signal strength of the particular neighbor cells is at least equal to its hand-off trigger threshold signal level. The position of the primary and neighbor cells and the identified handoff regions are graphically displayed. Preferably, each cell is assigned a unique display indicium and the handoff regions are displayed using a combination of the indicia for the primary and respective neighbor cell.
