A system and method for identifying geographical areas which distribute
poor radio frequency coverage is provided. The method includes measuring
a radio frequency signal of a mobile unit in response to a trigger. The
method continues with mapping the location data of the radio frequency
signal which represents the positioning of the mobile unit at a given
time. The method continues with recording the location data of the mobile
unit and storing the location data in a database. The trigger, which
prompts the radio frequency measurement, may be a timer expiring, a
dropped call, or a mobile power increase signaling a weak signal. In any
form, a post processing module may be configured in order to record,
store and organize the location data into a report, such as a coverage
map. Embodiments of this disclosure will display geographic areas that
have poor radio frequency and allow for an administrator to identify
trouble spots by a geographical region.
