3. Measure the deployment contour as if the basestation was on this floor, instead of
the floor below.
If only a small area is covered (less than a 10 metre radius), no through-the-floor
coverage is available on the floor above an installed basestation.
4. Go to the floor below the deployment tool and repeat the preceding process.
If only a small area is covered (less than a 10 metre radius), no through-the-floor
coverage is available on the floor below an installed basestation.
5. If there is no through-the-floor coverage or coverage is restricted to a small area,
deploy each floor using critical points, or if the floors have similar floor plans, you
can use the same deployment plan on each floor.
Assess floor layout
The deployment procedure changes according to the similarities and differences of the
floors.
• All floors have the same layout.
To begin a multi-floor deployment if all floors have the same layout, deploy one floor and
enter the data on the floor plan. Use the data from the deployed floor for other identical
floors.
For example, if the second floor of an office tower is laid out with cubicle style offices with a
perimeter of enclosed offices, and the third floor is laid out in the same manner, both floors
can have the same installation profile for basestations.
• All floors do not have the same layout.
If the floor plan varies from floor to floor, use the critical point method to deploy each distinct
floor. For more information, see
Prepare the tool for deployment on page 207.
Do not underestimate the importance of changes in floor layout. Simple changes in a room
from a meeting room to a storage room can have significant impact on the coverage from a
basestation.
Multi floor coverage situations
The following situations require multi-floor coverage.
• Atriums on page 59
• High rise buildings on page 60
• Unusual conditions on page 60
Atriums
Cells in an atrium, as shown in Figure 31: An atrium on page 60, are usually larger than the
cells of the remainder of the building. Use the information in this section as a guide help you
