1. A method for allocating downlink power in a wireless network comprising the steps of:

  • measuring received signal parameters, of electromagnetic transmissions from base stations, at measurement locations within defined radio frequency coverage areas, the measurement locations being geographical points where mobile stations may obtain wireless service from the wireless network;

    determining propagation factors associated with the electromagnetic transmissions as a function of the measurement locations; and

    determining a downlink transmit power for at least one of the base stations based upon the propagation factors and a target performance goal for the coverage areas.
