               the individual models. Of course, this is more or less a subjective comparison, and we
               have tried to be unbiased.
                  In this chapter, the Lee microcell prediction model has proven to be fairly accurate
               and not need a detailed database. It seeks balance among many different factors, such
               as speed, accuracy, and the ability to fine-tune measurement data. It also has the flexi­
               bility of quickly integrating with many other key parameters, such as terrain, trees, and
               water. As we will discuss in later chapters, the Lee macro-, micro-, and picocell models
               can be integrated and provide an effective solution for radio network planning and
               deployment.
