Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for the generation of 3-D RF performance maps of an environment by correlating RF performance data generated from known locations within the environment with spatial data generated of the environment. One embodiment comprises an apparatus that generates spatial data of an environment in a 3-D coordinate system. The apparatus generates RF performance data for an RF transmitter that is located within the environment. The apparatus identifies 3-D locations of the apparatus within the environment based on the spatial data, identifies RF performance values for the RF transmitter at the 3-D locations based on the RF performance data, and generates a 3-D RF performance map of the environment based on the 3-D locations and the RF performance values.
