          6.8   Summary and Conclusions
               This chapter discusses integrating the Lee macro-, micro-, and picocell models into one
               comprehensive model by combining the different parts of Lee models for different
               areas. In a macrocell system, each cell is very large. The antenna heights of all base sta­
               tions are very tall. It is not easy to move any base station around after it is installed.
               Therefore, the point-to-point prediction model is an important and useful tool for
               designing macrocell and also microcell systems.
                  As demands increase for more integrated and more accurate capabilities to provide
               ubiquitous coverage, throughput and capacity ,  the Lee models have evolved and devel­
               oped to meet the capabilities as well as accuracy, speed, required data input, and flexi­
               bilities. Furthermore, the measured data have to be collected in order to improve the
               accuracy of the model. And again, different Lee models will need different input data
               to improve the accuracy. In the macrocell, we need terrain and clutter data; in the micro­
               cell, we need building, terrain, and attribute date; and in the picocell, we need to know
               wall and building material and the layout of window and room dividers. This chapter
               discusses design aspects involving relatively new technology, repeaters, special areas,
