Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have been conducting research into the construction of a coverage map or a map of coverage holes for mobile access systems, such as cellular systems, by gleaning radio signal quality information, such as RSRP and RSRQ, with location information from mobile terminals. A similar effort started in 3GPP, known as MDT (Minimization of Drive Tests). Coverage hole maps could be utilized by telecom operators to optimize coverage; therefore, the accuracy of the estimated position where a coverage hole exists would affect the success or failure of the optimization. In this paper, we propose a method that statistically estimates coverage holes positions precisely. The proposed method is different from existing approaches that aimed to increase the precision of localization in one shot. Rather, the proposed method focused on how to treat a number of measured positions. Our method consists of two steps: clustering measured positions based on terminal identifications as the first step and statistical position range calculation using the clustered positions as the second. The results of a field trial indicated that the target location was successfully estimated using our method.
