Single-cell technique
553-3601-106 Standard 2.00 September 1996
Always start with the single-cell technique regardless of the distance between
the two critical points. With this technique you find one cell center that serves
two critical points, as shown in Figure 14.

1. Identify the initial critical points and mark them on the floor plan
with .
Note: When determining the location of a cell center, you typically use
one or two critical points.
2. Follow the steps of "Locating cell centers" on page 29.
If the contour lines do not cross, or they cross close to the edge of the
coverage area between the two critical points, follow the steps in the
"Double-cell technique" on page 33.
3. Follow the steps of "Locating cell boundaries" on page 30.
4. Repeat these steps for the remaining coverage area from the boundaries
of the coverage area toward the center until you cover all of the floor.
If the cell boundary covers any other critical points, ignore them when
proceeding with coverage planning.
