A novel in-building radio deployment technique is disclosed. Wireless personal communications systems will see a large growth in public acceptance. Presently, deployment of a personal communications system in a building is a time consuming and costly procedure which must be performed on site. The invention measures precise locations of cell centers efficiently and rapidly. It maps the coverage of each cell when a measuring base station interrogates, by wireless, measuring handsets located at critical points of the cell.
