When co-sited, DTP method can be used to further increase coverage prediction accuracy by up to 20%.
Traditional prediction problem

Normal coverage prediction
n Traditional propagation has error even after being tuned; n Traditional propagation can not consider the effect of Parapet, and increase the single of Sidelobe and Backlobe.
Case no consideration of the parapet wall, Prediction result is optimistic
