Abstract
A method performed by an apparatus is presented which comprises determining one or more potential installation positions and/or areas for installing one or more radio positioning support devices in a predetermined environment, wherein said one or more potential installation positions and/or areas are determined at least partially based on at least one radio coverage model.
Claims19
A method performed by an apparatus, the method comprising:
- at least one of receiving or holding available a model of a predetermined environment, wherein the model of the predetermined environment comprises a two- or three-dimensional graphical model of the predetermined environment;
- sensing at least one installation position of at least one installed radio positioning support device;
- and
- determining at least one potential installation position or area for installing at least one radio positioning support device in the predetermined environment, wherein said at least one potential installation position or area is determined at least partially based on said at least one installation position that has been sensed, the model of the predetermined environment and a radio coverage model for said at least one installed radio positioning support device, wherein the radio coverage model comprises a two- or three-dimensional coverage map, and wherein the radio coverage model comprises a parametric radio model representative of radio parameter values.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium in which computer program code is stored, the computer program code when executed by a processor causing at least one apparatus to perform:
- at least one of receiving or holding available a model of a predetermined environment, wherein the model of the predetermined environment comprises a two- or three-dimensional graphical model of the predetermined environment;
- sensing at least one installation position of at least one installed radio positioning support device;
- and
- determining at least one potential installation position or area for installing at least one radio positioning support device in the predetermined environment, wherein the at least one potential installation position or area is determined at least partially based on the at least one installation position that has been sensed, the model of the predetermined environment and a radio coverage model for said at least one installed radio positioning support device, wherein the radio coverage model comprises a two- or three-dimensional coverage map, and wherein the radio coverage model comprises a parametric radio model representative of radio parameter values.
An apparatus, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- at least one of receive or hold available a model of a predetermined environment, wherein the model of the predetermined environment comprises a two- or three-dimensional graphical model of the predetermined environment;
- and
- sense at least one installation position of at least one installed radio positioning support device;
- and
- determine at least one potential installation position or area for installing at least one radio positioning support device in the predetermined environment, wherein said at least one potential installation position or area is determined at least partially based on said at least one installation position that has been sensed, the model of the predetermined environment and a radio coverage model for said at least one installed radio positioning support device, wherein the radio coverage model comprises a two- or three-dimensional coverage map, and wherein the radio coverage model comprises a parametric radio model representative of radio parameter values.
