A method of re-selecting respective values of one or more parameters which affect network performance or operation of a cell or cell sector in a cellular wireless network comprises: causing apparatus of the network to receive and store one or more indicators, representing the performance and/or operation of an aspect of the network, and at least one criterion to be met by the indicator concerned when the value of the or each parameter has been re-selected; causing apparatus of the network to receive data relating to the present and/or past performance of the network, and/or data relating to the present and/or past operation of the network, and to derive from that data statistical data relating to the or each said indicator; causing apparatus of the network to store that statistical data; when the value of the or each parameter is to be re-selected, causing apparatus of the network to obtain at least two different solutions for the value of the or each parameter to be re-selected; causing apparatus of the network to use the said statistical data to determine which of the solutions obtained most satisfactorily meets the or each said criterion for the or each indicator; and causing apparatus of the network to select that solution for implementation on the network. |
