Abstract :
The main purpose of the methodology presented is to suggest an agile and reliable approach to the radio coverage definition in cellular networks planning so that highly complex problems can be handled and solved in a fairly short time. A set of assumptions allows an easy representation of entities such as traffic distribution and propagation characteristics. A flexible structure of the described procedure supports a user friendly man-machine relationship to adjust and tune the intermediate results. The final results are validated with a satisfactory accuracy degree, through the use of more sophisticated propagative analysis tools
