<p>In order to automate the process of locating "hot-spots" in an exisiting mobile cellular telecommunications system, with a view to installing new BTS, a method for assessing traffic density comprises: providing a test transmitter (8), and moving it to one or more selected sites (S1... Sj) within existing cells (2,N) of the system; the transmitter transmitting test signals to mobile stations (6) within its vicinity, the mobile stations within the vicinity transmitting first signal strength response signals to said test signals, and said mobile stations transmitting second signal strength response signals to corresponding test signals from base stations (4, 4N) of associated cells; and analysing received first and second response signals for assessing traffic density within the vicinity of the transmitter, comprising analysing the received first signal strength response signals to determine those first response signals which are greater than a predetermined threshold value, and comparing those first response signals which are greater than a predetermined threshold value with the second signal strength response signals to determine the value of the first response signals in relation to the second response signals. <IMAGE></p> |
