Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé qui traite du problème de l'effet d'ombre radio, permettant à un utilisateur d'un terminal radio mobile d'influencer sa propre qualité de transmission. Fondamentalement, le système comprend un réseau de communications mobiles situé entre un terminal radio mobile et un analyseur de réseau cellulaire. Le terminal radio mobile est conçu pour estimer ses propres positions actuelles dans le réseau de télécommunications mobiles et également pour comparer les positions actuelles estimées à l'aide d'une carte de qualité de transmission envoyée par l'analyseur de réseau cellulaire, afin de déterminer la qualité de transmission dans le voisinage du terminal radio mobile. Ainsi, le terminal radio mobile est capable d'informer son utilisateur de la qualité de transmission autour de la position actuelle du terminal radio mobile, permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur d'influencer sa propre qualité de transmission en déplaçant ou en arrêtant le terminal radio mobile.
