CONFIGURATION OF A RADIO COVERAGE

摘要

A cellular radio communications network comprises a plurality of radio cells. A target radio coverage is associated with each of the radio cells. Each operational radio cell provides an effective radio coverage defined by a transmission power value of said radio cell. A given transmission power value is applied (21) to a given set of radio cells. Next, a radio cell is selected (22). Thereafter, cellular information is obtained (23) relating to a group of radio cells comprising the selected radio cell and neighbouring cells. On the basis of the cellular information, the effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and the respective target radio coverages of the cells of said group are compared (24). If the effective radio coverage of at least one cell of the group of radio cells is inferior to its target radio coverage (25), new transmission power values are applied (26) respectively to radio cells of said group of cells. Next, as appropriate, certain steps are iterated.
