Abstract
A method for determining a coverage area according to antenna patterns in a sector base station system provided that the antenna gain of the omni base station is identical to the antenna gain of the sector base station. The method includes the steps of calculating the ratio of the coverage area of the sector base station to the omni base station, calculating the coverage area of the omni base station considering a handover area, and multiplying the calculated ratio of coverage area of the sector base station by the calculated coverage area of the omni base station, to determine the number of base stations required in designing the wireless network by the operator.
