Method and apparatus for determining coupled path loss
First Claim
1. In a method for determining a value for an attribute of a signal received by a wireless device located in a bin in a cell of a cellular communication system wherein said value is determined as a function of an average value of the attribute of a first plurality of signals received from a second plurality of base stations, the improvement comprising determining the value as a function of an average value of the attribute of a third plurality of signals from one of the second plurality of base stations.

Abstract
The disclosure generally relates to method and apparatus for determining coupled path loss in a small geographical which is served by a plurality of transmitters and is subject to broad signal level variation. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for determining performance of a signal received by a wireless device located within a bin of a cell of a cellular communication system. The method comprises determining the value of the received signal level as a function of the sum of the signal levels received from a primary base station at a primary cell divided by a number of signal level measurements from said primary base station.
