| 1. An operation management system in a radio communication system including a plurality of wireless base stations, said operation
management system having:
a cell determining means for determining a boundary of a cell corresponding to one of said plurality of wireless base stations,
said cell being smaller or equal to a coverage range of said one of said plurality of said wireless base stations, the boundary
of a cell being determined by the cell determining means:
collecting power transmitted, and antenna gain, from each wireless base station,
computing a propagation loss from each of the wireless base stations at an arbitrary observation point, using a statistical
technique employing an estimation model in which a radio wave damps depending upon distance or by use of a ray-tracing method,
computing power received from each wireless base station at the observation point,
deciding that the wireless base station that achieves maximum received power at the observation point is a connection base
station at the observation point, and
determining the space between points in which connection base stations differ as cell boundaries;
an operational situation acquiring means for acquiring an operational situation of said cell by said cell, based upon operational
information in each said cell; and
a displaying means for displaying cells in a service area of said radio communication system by displaying said cell boundaries
determined by said cell determining means, and for displaying in each of said cells a uniform indication of the operational
situation obtained by said operational situation acquiring means.
