Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: passively monitoring communication of multiple communication terminals that communicate in a cellular communication network; extracting from the monitored communication multiple data points, which comprise geographical positions that are measured and reported by the communication terminals while served by respective cells of the cellular communication network, and corresponding cell identifiers of the cells; mapping an actual geographical coverage of at least a given cell of the cellular communication network based on the multiple data points, wherein the geographical positions comprise coordinates measured in the communication terminals, wherein extracting the data points comprises extracting the coordinates from application-layer information exchanged in the monitored communication, wherein extracting the data points further comprises assessing data bandwidth usage of the communication terminals, and wherein mapping the actual geographical coverage comprises mapping an actual data bandwidth usage for the given cell over the actual geographical coverage; and adaptively allocating bandwidth resources to the given cell based on the actual bandwidth usage.
