Method and system for identifying coverage gaps in a wireless infrastructure

A method, comprising:

• receiving a transmission generated by a mobile unit, the transmission including identification data and wireless transmission data, the identification data obtained from a marker situated on a permanent fixture at a predetermined location;
• analyzing the identification data to determine the predetermined location;
• and
• determining wireless coverage data at the location as a function of the transmission data.

A system, comprising:

• a wireless arrangement;
• and
• a mobile unit including a wireless transducer and a data acquisition arrangement (“DAA”), the DAA obtaining identification data from a marker which is situated on a permanent fixture at a predetermined location,
• wherein the wireless transducer sends a transmission to the wireless arrangement, the transmission including the identification data and wireless transmission data, and
• wherein the wireless arrangement analyzes the identification data to determine the predetermined location, the wireless arrangement determining an existence of a coverage gap at the location as a function of the transmission data.
