Abstract

Data relating to call failures that occurred in a wireless communication network is accessed from a memory, the data including a plurality of call failure samples. The samples are plotted on a map along with a potential new cell site. An enclosed buffer area is selected around the potential new cell site and call failure samples within the enclosed buffer area are selected. Among the selected samples, a set of samples is selected that are associated with values of a coverage parameter lower than a coverage threshold. A percentage contribution is calculated of the samples in the set among all samples within the buffer area. When the percentage contribution equals or exceeds a first threshold and a number of the samples in the buffer area equals or exceeds a second threshold, it is determined that the potential new cell site is to be deployed.
