RF Plan
Optimization
What is optimization?
: Importing RF measurement data into an RF model
to improve the accuracy of the model.
Purpose of this section
: Provides an overview of optimization methods.
Why is this important?
: A network plan contains the configuration settings
that determine the performance of your wireless network. Optimization
of the RF model leads to a more successful RF plan. The ultimate result is
an accurate visualization of your RF coverage, better-defined statistics for
monitoring, and the ability to more accurately plan for and improve
network performance.
You can optimize your network based on user and network statistics
gathered from:
