Abstract: A mobile radio network comprises a plurality of base stations in a mutual three-dimensional arrangement in the manner of a cellular system. A respective, rigidly prescribed plurality of immediately adjacent, neighboring radio zones forms a radio zone group in which the frequency channels available are repeated. A problem area occurs in the design of radio zones in that the ground-bound radio propagation dependent on terrain and the nature of the built-up area leads to irregular field intensity distributions and radio zone boundaries; however, the radio zones must be designed according to the distributions of the radio traffic density. A solution for the traffic-qualified radio zone boundary is provided which is best suited for the detection of radio zone boundaries.
