Ensuring that cell centers are not too far apart
Checking for redundant cells
553-3601-106 Standard 2.00 September 1996
All of the coverage areas must be within the cell boundary contour. For each
cell center, use the CDT to check that all of the areas requiring coverage are
within the cell boundary contour.
Note: The cell center does not have to be on the same floor or an adjacent floor
of the area that it is covering, but the signal strength of the coverage area
must be greater than the cell boundary value.
When you plan a site with differing floor areas you may have planned
redundant cells.
Check the coverage area of each cell and verify that there is at least one area
that each cell serves that is not served by another cell. If all of a cell is served
by other cells, and this cell is not required for high portable density, remove
the cell (see Figure 28).
