CHARACTERIZATION OF CELLULAR TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AREA

摘要

A system, a computer program product and a method of characterizing a cellular telecommunications network area are disclosed. The method comprises: receiving (606) measurement data characterizing measured cell quality of a plurality of radio cells in a plurality of spatiotemporal coordinate points; selecting (608) a plurality of sub-areas within a cellular telecommunications network area, each sub-area confining a plurality of spatiotemporal coordinate points; calculating (610) sub-area cell quality parameters of radio cells, each sub-area cell quality parameter representing cell quality of a radio cell within a sub-area and being calculated by combining measurement data within the sub-area; and generating (612) a cell preference list for at least a portion of the cellular telecommunications network area on the basis of the sub-area cell quality parameters.
