Radio signals travel farther inuncluttered areas than they do in cluttered areas.Note 2: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you make enough x’s to draw acontour line around the cell center (12 x’s for a full 360° arounda cell center are enough).5. If in step 2, you chose a cell boundary value of -73 dBm and a user’soffice is within the cell, confirm that the office is within -70 dBm of thecell center. Reset the CDT to -70 dBm and find the cell boundary in theoffice area. If any of these users’ offices are not within -70 dBm of thecell center, consider them as outside the cell.6. Mark each office on the floor plan within the cell as covered.7. Label any subsequent critical point on the floor plan with .Completing the floor planAs you locate cells, trace the defined cell boundaries and cell centers withcolored markers.Repeat “Locating cell centers” and “Locating cell boundaries” to define thecells for the subsequent critical points.The Sample Site: Cell center locationFigure 2 shows how you use the floor plan to identify the initial critical pointsP1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and P6. Use -70 dBm as the cell boundary value and placethe CDT at P1, P2 and P3 to locate cell center 1C1.2
