Inclusion Region and Coverage Area with MSE

[g.peart]

Does anyone know the difference between Inclusion regions and Coverage Areas when

using the Map Editor in Prime 1.3/2.0.

When defining the locations that clients should be tracked, would you include an inclusion region

and coverage area within the same space.

[Saurav Lodh]

Coverage area is the actual geographic area of signal coverage where stations ( including clients ) can communicate with each other. In that geographic area you may have places which you dont bother to have signal. And you cant optimise your network so aptly inorder to remove signal coverage from them. Therefore, you remove/ exclude them from area of concern in the map. The area you are left with i.e Coverage Area - Exclusion Area= Inclusion Area.

So by drawing a coverage area on my map I'm telling the system to inform me what is being detected within this area, clients, rogues, interferers etc, and ignore the rest of map ?

So how does it relate to Inclusion /Exclusion areas since you can outline both coverage and inclusion or is it one or the other never both ?
