Claim One:
1. A method of optimising real cellular, wireless communication networks providing telecommunication services to subscribers and having a network configuration comprising a plurality of radio cells, each cell covering a cell area, which, in turn, is sub-divided into area elements, said network configuration being defined by network configuration parameters, comprising the steps of: providing location-referenced values of subscriber traffic for said area elements, transmitting, in each of said cells, a reference signal of constant transmission power, providing, for each of said area elements, a cell-referenced value of the power received from said reference signal, providing a model of said communication network having an original model network configuration, iteratively optimising said model network configuration by accumulating and weighting said subscriber traffic values of said area elements and by locally adjusting said model network configuration, to provide an optimised model network configuration, and using said optimised model network configuration is said real communication network.
