+A coverage map describes a metric, such as path gain, received signal strength

+In other words, for a given transmitter, it associates every point on a surface

 a specific orientation would observe at this point. A coverage map is not uniquely defined as it depends on
 the transmit and receive arrays and their respective antenna patterns, the transmitter and receiver orientations, as well as
 transmit precoding and receive combining vectors. Moreover, a coverage map is not continuous but discrete because the plane
 needs to be quantized into small rectangular bins.
