1. A method for correlating test data taken during two drives through the coverage area of a personal communication system, wherein the data from the first test set includes a sequence of locations along a first drive and the data from the second test set includes a sequence of locations along a second drive, and wherein a location from the first set is correlated with a location from the second set when the location from the second set lies within a correlation distance of the location from the first set, the method comprising:

  • obtaining the correlation distance;

    determining the search point as the first location of the first set;

    determining a possible first correlated location from the first set and a corresponding first correlated location from the second set using the search point, the correlation distance, and a search radius if no correlated data has yet been found;

    otherwise, if a correlated location has been found, determining a possible next correlated location from the first set and a corresponding next correlated location from the second set using the search point, the correlation distance, the correlated location from the second set that was most recently found, and a search number; and

    determining the next search point as the next location of the first set and repeating the step of determining a possible correlated location from the first set and a corresponding correlated location from the second set.
