ESTIMATION DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING COMMUNICATION QUALITY OF WIRELESS NETWORK AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING METERS THEREOF

A method for estimating communication quality of a wireless network applied to an estimation device having a storage device and a processor is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing coordinate information of a plurality of nodes and at least two kinds of map data; associating the coordinate information of the nodes with the map data to map the nodes to the corresponding positions of the maps; extracting spatial feature data between any two nodes from the associated map data, wherein the spatial feature data include spatial distribution data and spatial attribute data; selecting one of a plurality of path loss models according to the spatial feature data between the two nodes and estimating a pass loss using the selected path loss model, thereby estimating the communication quality between the two nodes.
