Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and system for adaptive cell size management. The system can determine a minimum SNR value and one or more current environmental factors for a particular environment. Also, the system dynamically determines a minimum signal strength value for receiving wireless signals based on the minimum SNR value and the one or more current environmental factors, and configures a network device to receive signals with the minimum signal strength value. Alternatively, the system can estimate a particular coverage area such that a first set of wireless signals transmitted by devices located within the particular coverage area reach a network device at a minimum signal strength. The system then computes a transmission power such that a second set of wireless signals transmitted by the network device at the transmission power reaches an edge of the particular coverage area at a particular signal strength value.
