Method of and apparatus for estimating received quality of communication area and program

A received signal quality estimation apparatus of a wireless communication area for estimating an area in which a hand-over occurs in a service area of a wireless communication system composed of a plurality of base stations, the apparatus comprising:

• a finding unit configured to find received signal qualities from a plurality of base stations at each grid in the service area;
• and
• a hand-over area estimation unit configured to estimate whether or not a target grid is a hand-over area based on a comparison between received signal qualities from the plurality of base stations at the target grid and received signal qualities from the plurality of base stations at a neighboring grid, which is adjacent to the target grid,
• wherein the hand-over area estimation unit estimates the target grid to be the hand-over area when the target grid meets requirements defined by a received signal quality at the neighboring grid from an associated base station and a difference between received signal qualities from the associated base station and a hand-over destination base station.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which causes a computer to estimate an area in which a hand-over occurs in a service area of a wireless communication system composed of a plurality of base stations by:

• finding received signal qualities from a plurality of base stations at each grid in the service area;
• and
• estimating whether or not a target grid is a hand-over area based on a comparison result between received signal qualities from the plurality of base stations at the target grid and received signal qualities from the plurality of base stations at a neighboring grid, which is adjacent to the target grid,
• wherein the target grid is estimated to be the hand-over area when the target grid meets requirements defined by a received signal quality at the neighboring grid from an associated base station and a difference between received signal qualities from the associated base station and a hand-over destination base station.
