Claim:
1. A method of analyzing a plurality of cells of a cellular telecommunication network, the plurality of cells providing telecommunication services to a service area and being set with one or more cell configuration parameters enabling a cell rating for mobile stations in the service area, the rate of the cell reflecting an attractiveness of said cell for the mobile stations, the method comprising: selecting at least one cell among the plurality of cells; changing at least one cell configuration parameter of at least one of the plurality of cells during an intervention period in order to affect a rate of the selected cell in the cell rating for the mobile stations in the service area, monitoring traffic events communicated using the selected cell during the intervention period; determining radio coverage contribution information of the selected cell based on an amount of traffic events communicated using the selected cell and a total amount of traffic events communicated using the plurality of cells during the intervention period, monitoring traffic events communicated using the plurality of cells during the intervention period so as to determine the total amount of traffic events communicated using the plurality of cells during the intervention period, and associating traffic events to mobile station identities and wherein said radio coverage contribution information is obtained by correlating the monitored traffic events associated with different mobile station identities and the change of parameters, wherein the radio coverage contribution information is determined as a ratio between the amount of traffic events communicated using the selected cell associated with different mobile stations identities and the total amount of traffic events communicated using the plurality of cells of the service area associated with different mobile stations identities.
