Field: Telecommunications (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method of determining performance of a Radio Access Network (RAN) of a telecommunications network, the RAN covering an area, and the area being divided into a plurality of unit cells, the method comprising:
receiving a measured performance value of the RAN within at least one unit cell of the plurality of unit cells;
receiving a simulated performance value of the RAN within each of the plurality of unit cells;
identifying a unit cell of the plurality of unit cells that is associated with both a measured performance value and a simulated performance value;
for the identified unit cell, calculating a difference function between the simulated performance value for the identified unit cell and the measured performance value for the identified unit cell;
determining that a simulated performance value associated with at least one unit cell that is adjacent to the identified unit cell is within a deviation threshold of the simulated performance value of the identified unit cell;
applying the difference function to the simulated performance value associated with the at least one unit cell that is adjacent to the identified unit cell to provide a modified simulated performance value for the adjacent unit cell; and
configuring the RAN based on the modified simulated performance value for the adjacent unit cell.
