Abstract

Dans un mode de réalisation, la présente invention concerne un procédé pour déterminer un emplacement d'une installation d'un équipement radio. Le procédé consiste à déterminer des informations géographiques de locaux comprenant une pluralité d'emplacements, à déterminer une intensité de signal et une pluralité de dimensions associées à chacun des emplacements, à identifier un emplacement optimal parmi la pluralité d'emplacements pour l'installation de l'équipement radio dans les locaux sur la base d'un critère de classement, et à rendre l'emplacement optimal identifié.
