Abstract
Dynamic metro cell location planning is provided within the wireless communication coverage area of a macro cell. Metro cell location planning can include obtaining performance parameters associated with the macro cell and evaluating coverage parameters of the macro cell. Metro cell location planning can also include selecting, based on the performance parameters and the coverage parameters, a location within a wireless communication coverage area of the macro cell for placement of the metro cell. The selected location can be conveyed to a user and/or entity for deployment of the metro cells. Metro cells can be used by a carrier to fill a coverage hole and/or to offload capacity hot-spots within the network.
