Communications Research Centre (CRC) technical report : mobile coverage metrics / Khaledul Islam, Liang Zhang.: BC92-142/2025E-PDF

"This report presents a literature survey on the quality of service requirements for different types of mobile services, the required data throughput, and the required signal power level at the receivers, based on the analysis and test results conducted by industry and other international regulatory bodies. This report proposes definitions of mobile service coverage (MSC) in three service levels, the Emergency Mobile Coverage (EMC), Basic Mobile Coverage (BMC), and Advance Mobile Coverage (AMC), based on mobile service types and the respective quality of service (QoS) requirements. Next, two coverage metrics are proposed for identifying the mobile service coverage areas for the different service levels: data throughput and received signal power. The thresholds for these two metrics are recommended for the three levels of mobile service coverage assessment.The proposed coverage definitions, metrics and the criteria are used to develop a unified approach to generate the coverage contours for different levels of mobile services that are available to Canadian consumers, based on the latest mobile system deployment status in Canada. The proposed coverage definitions and metrics consider all cellular technologies, from 2G to the latest deployed 5G systems in the 3.5 GHz band"--Abstract, page 3.
