Determining cell boundaries
A
specific RSSI value on the handset defines the cell boundary range. Links can be made
outside the cell boundary but the audio quality of the link is poor. The link drops when the
handset and the basestation are too far apart.
As shown in
Figure 24: Cell boundary terminology on page
61, the cell boundary is the
furthest point from the cell centre where a clear radio signal can be heard.
The range from the cell centre to the cell boundary, or the distance to a potential cell centre
from a critical point, is determined by using the cell boundary value and the deployment tool.
Figure 24: Cell boundary terminology
Figure 25: Cell boundaries on page
62 shows the following:
A cell boundary for the cell centre is determined by placing the deployment tool at the cell
centre, for example 2C1, and using the deployment handset to establish the cell boundary.
The cell boundary contour is marked on the floor plan, and shown in
Figure 25: Cell
boundaries on page
62 by a dash-dot line.
