METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RADIO FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT AND AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY PLANNING IN A CELLULAR RADIO SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile station (M1) operating in a digital cellular system such as GSM is ordered to perform signal strength measurements on non-BCCH carrier frequencies by including an identification of those frequencies twice in the bit map comprising the BA-list (45). The mobile station formats a measurement report containing signal strength measurements of both BCCH and non-BCCH carrier frequencies (48) and send it to the network (49) which uses the data for automatic frequency allocation within the network.
