More Information
Summary:Embodiments are described herein to provide a general approach to wireless coverage gap detection. One general approach involves network equipment comparing (101) a current wireless service map to a historical wireless service map, where the current wireless service map and the historical wireless service map correspond to the same wireless coverage area. If a difference in wireless service between the current wireless service map and the historical wireless service map exceeds a threshold, a potential wireless coverage problem is reported (102). Such an approach may be able to detect network performance problems related to antenna misalignment/malfunction in an effort to minimize the service interruption to subscribers.
