Abstract:
A method for reallocating a plurality of frequencies based on a single set of radio link measurements in a cellular network, comprising the steps of:defining a consideration area for a cell in said cellular network, wherein a reallocation made in the cell is not detected in cells outside of the consideration area for the cell; identifying at least one beneficial reallocation suggestion for said cell, said at least one beneficial reallocation suggestion complying with at least one reallocation rule and being derived from at least one radio link measurement from said single set of radio link measurements, said at least one reallocation rule comprising exclusion of candidate frequencies in all cells in said consideration area within a predefined distance from a non-active cell and including an identical frequency or adjacent frequency to a frequency included in said non-active cell; and accepting said at least one beneficial reallocation suggestion unless said at least one beneficial reallocation suggestion comprises a previously-accepted reallocation suggestion for a second cell, said second cell being included in said consideration area.
