The invention is based on a priority application EP 02 360 116.4 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to the field of analyzing and optimizing of cellular mobile telecommunications networks, and more particularly without limitation, to radio network optimization and network planning.
Network planning for a cellular mobile telecommunications network, such as the GSM or UMTS systems, is a complex task. “The GSM System for Mobile Communications” written and published by M. B. Pautet and M. Mouly, 1992 edition, provides an overview concerning the considerations for network planning.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an implementation of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is illustrative of an application example,
FIG. 3 is illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention,
In the following preferred embodiments of the invention are explained in greater detail by making reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of a system in accordance with the invention. The system comprises an RNO tool 1. For example the A 956-RNO which is commercially available from Alcatel/EVOLIUM can be utilized as RNO tool 1.
The RNO tool 1 has a cell database 2 which serves to store location, geographic and topology information of the cells of the mobile telecommunications network as well as possible handovers between cells. By means of the RNO tool 1 the operation of the cellular mobile telecommunications system is observed and monitored.
