Abstract
A method and system for testing the wireless signal propagation model of the cellular network is provided in the invention. The method comprising: selecting a testing site to install a receiving testing apparatus; moving a transmission apparatus along a testing route transmitting a testing signal upon moving; the receiving testing apparatus receiving the testing signal, and detecting the strength of the received testing signal; and obtaining field strength testing data along the testing route based on a synchronization established between the transmission apparatus and the receiving testing apparatus. By this invention, the testing efficiency of the wireless signal propagation model correction in the area covered by the cellular network can be improved.
