Abstract:
A system and methodology that utilizes data collected by a femto access point (FAP) to identify and prioritize cell sites that can be acquired to improve indoor coverage of an existing communication network is provided. Moreover, the data can include femto network listen measurements that can be utilized to compare the macro coverage provided by the existing communication network with the radio coverage provided by a disparate communication network, for example, by the cell sites of an operator being considered for acquisition. In addition, a number of attachment attempts made to the FAP within a specified period can be calculated. Moreover, this information can be leveraged to make merger/acquisition decisions, including quantifying the number of sites of the disparate communication networks to operate and/or predicting the incremental performance gain opportunities that result due to the operation of the sites of the disparate communication networks.
