Abstract:
1. A method for cell planning and preparing for a cell split when a cell tends to get congested or overloaded in a cellular mobile telecommunication system, wherein the steps of said method are performed in one or more nodes of said telecommunication system, said method comprising the steps of: registering position related data comprising the locations for mobile users (MS) together with what service is used by each user in terms of bit rate; creating an estimation of the traffic density within the cell as a function of said position related data; and, selecting an optimal site for a new base station as a function of said position related data; and, selecting an optimal site for a new base station as function of said position related data or said traffic density; wherein maximizing the function gives the optimal site location for the new base station, where n is an index number for the mobile users of the cell, BR
