CS Coverage Area
The example below shows the size of the coverage area of 1 CS if it is installed where there is no obstacle.
Note
Radio signal strength levels are measured during the site survey (refer to "2.9.5 Site Survey").
Site Survey Preparation
1. Obtain the map and investigate the installation site.
a. Check the obstacles (e.g., shelves, columns, and partitions).
b. Check the materials of the structures (e.g., metal, concrete, and plywood).
c. Check the layout and dimensions of the room, corridor, etc.
d. Write down the above information on the map.
2. Examine the service area demanded by the user on the map, referring to the following example.
a. Draw the coverage area around a CS. Extend the coverage area to 30 m to 60 m in one direction,
depending on the materials of the building structures and obstacles in the installation site. Note
that a CS cannot be installed outside a building.
b. If one CS cannot cover the entire service area, install additional CSs as required. Overlap the
coverage areas of adjacent CSs.
Where CS coverage areas overlap, the PS will start call handover to the next CS if the signal from
