Abstract:
1. A method of wireless frequency planning comprising: continuously monitoring all calls for a station pair in a sector of a wireless network by constantly taking signal measurements during a call associated with the station pair to obtain actual use sampling of data for the call associated with the station pair during a given measurement period; determining number of carrier-to-interference occurrences for the station pair; approximating number of customers affected by a given magnitude of interference for the station pair; receiving transmissions from wireless transmitters on a common frequency of a control channel associated with the station pair, the wireless transmitters comprising cellular base stations that provide service to network sectors that are different from each other, wherein the transmissions are stored in a table having a number incrementable by a number of occurrences of an interference parameter within a selected range for the station pair; and determining a relative percentage for the number of occurrences that are associated with the interference parameter.
