Abstract:
1. A method of selecting a value of at least one network operating parameter, cell operating parameter, radio resource management parameter or dimensioning parameter for a cellular radio communications network having a base station and mobile units communicating therewith, wherein a statistic is maintained of estimated mobile unit occurrence densities or estimated changes of mobile unit occurrence densities at locations in a cell, wherein each of the locations is defined by a range of values for a parameter which is indicative of distance from the base station and a range of values for a parameter which is indicative of an angle with respect to the base station, and the occurrence density comprises a count of mobile units within the location which is normalized with respect to the area of the location, and the selection of the value of the at least one network operating parameter, cell operating parameter, radio resource management parameter or a dimensioning parameter is made in accordance with an occurrence frequency density stored in the statistic.
