A method that rapidly and precisely determines the geographical location of areas of high concentration of usage (hot spots) and areas of poor RF frequency reception (dead spots) by measuring the number of failed call attempts, dropped calls and the like and comparing them to the identification of a mobile station and its location are recorded as record at selected points during a call. If a high number of uncompleted calls or dropped calls are recorded, then the base station can use the last known location of the wireless units involved to circumscribe an area in which the hot spot or dead spot occurs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This problem is solved in technical advances achieved in the art by a system and method that rapidly and precisely determines the geographical area of high concentration of usage (hot spots), areas of poor RF frequency reception (dead spots), and areas of handoff thrashing.
The number of failed call attempts, dropped calls land the like, are measured.
The identification of a wireless station and its location are recorded at selected points during a call.
If a high number of uncompleted, dropped or handed off calls are recorded, then the base station uses the last known location of the wireless stations that report trouble to circumscribe an area in which the hot spot or dead spot occurs.
