Abstract
We study on the implementation flow of the radio computerized tomography (RCT) prediction method. A case in real cellular mobile radio (CMR) system together with the prediction results are also presented. As shown by the results, the RCT prediction method is marked for its convenience and rapidity, as well as its relative high precision even when the prediction procedure is highly simplified. Since it is developed according to the characteristics of wireless communication environments of our country and has concurrently merits from both statistical and deterministic prediction models, the RCT prediction method is in good agreement with engineering practices in cellular mobile communication in cities at home. Optimized by combining with other techniques, further improvement could be achieved in the stability and precision of the RCT prediction method which now serves as the core part of a software tool for commercial use in CMR system analysis and optimization.
