Workstation for analyzing and optimizing a cellular mobile telecommunications network

A workstation (10) for analyzing and optimizing a cellular mobile telecommunications network that includes a set of cells (C30, C31, C32, C34) each of which is associated with a base station that is adapted to communicate with one or more mobile stations present in the cell, each cell being characterized by one or more neighbor relationships with one or more neighbor cells such that the base stations of two cells linked by a neighbor relationship are adapted to allow the switching of a call from the same mobile station between the two base stations of the two linked cells to enable the mobile station to pass from one cell to the other without the call being interrupted, the workstation including:

• a unit (14) for displaying a map showing two or more cells;
• an interface (24) enabling an operator to define the neighbor relationship between two cells;
• and
• means for analyzing the operation of the network as a function of the neighbor relationships so defined;
• the workstation being characterized in that said interface includes means (24) for direct selection on the map of two or more cells and means for defining a neighbor relationship between the selected cells
