CoverageDefinition: Selected Point Probability of Coverage
The probability of coverage for the
point selected in the grid inspector being achieved as a function
of the time past a request for coverage. In other words, if you
request coverage of the point now, what is the probability that you
will have visibility to the point within the next hour, the next
six hours or the next day. The probability that coverage is
achieved at the instant of the request is the same as the
percentage of time that the point is covered. Thus, if the point is
covered 20% of the time, then the point will be covered at the time
of request 20% of the time, which means that 20% of the time the
wait for coverage will be zero. The point has a 100% probability of
coverage at a time from request that equals the maximum coverage
gap for the point. If the maximum coverage gap for a point is 30
minutes, then the worst case request for coverage would occur at
the beginning of the 30 minute coverage gap. In that case, after 30
minutes have elapsed since the time of the request, you are
guaranteed to have coverage of the point. A point is considered to
be covered if it has access to one or more of the assigned
