1. A computer-based method for predicting radio wave propagation along a radial emanating from a base station comprising:

  • selecting one segment from a plurality of segments describing said radial;

    ascertaining a propagation environment through which said one segment traverses, said propagation environment being one of a first propagation environment and a second propagation environment;

    obtaining a switching parameter relative to said second propagation environment;

    utilizing a first propagation model to predict said radio wave propagation at said one segment when said switching parameter fails to exceed a threshold; and

    employing a second propagation model to predict said radio wave propagation at said one segment when said switching parameter exceeds said threshold.
