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.
