Patent ID: 8391248

Claim:
A method for evaluating the performance of a mobile telephone network, comprising the steps of: simulating a first configuration of said mobile telephone network; simulating a second configuration of said mobile telephone network, said first and second configurations of said mobile telephone network being statistically independent of each other, said first and second configurations being simulated in the same mobile telephone network, each of said simulation steps comprising the steps of: specifying a total number of users to be simulated, determining a sequence of activation of user blocks included in said total number of users to be simulated, activating said user blocks in succession until said total number of users to be simulated is reached, each user block indicating a traffic distribution, and processing at least one radio resource management event relating to the traffic distribution associated with each currently activated user block; processing jointly statistical results generated using each of said simulation configurations; and repeating said steps of simulating said mobile telephone network until a predetermined accuracy threshold is reached for each simulated network value.
