  • Patent number: 7167681
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, an antenna adjustment method, system and network element is provided. The system includes a mechanism for gathering information on interference in predetermined radio cells, a mechanism for arranging the gathered information radio cell-specifically for processing, a mechanism for determining a tilting factor for each predetermined radio cell, wherein the tilting factor relates to the interference the radio cell produces to other cells, and a mechanism for searching for the radio cells having the antenna tilting factors that fulfill a set criteria.

  • Patent number: 7136638
    Abstract: A method, system, device and computer program product are provided for analyzing a cellular wireless communication network of a first type. For analyzing the cellular wireless communication network of the first type, communication connection condition parameters for one cell are measured, which communication connection condition parameters are derived from signals received by a mobile station from the one cell and from a plurality of other cells. The communication connection condition parameters are transmitted to a network control element in the form of mobile measurement reports. A network analysis functionality associated with the network control element processes the mobile measurement reports and evaluates, on the basis of processing results, a potential of the one cell for a usage in a wireless communication network of a second type, and/or estimated network parameters of the wireless communication network of the second type, like network performance or network dimensioning.

  • Publication number: 20060002318
    Abstract: A method of controlling admission of users in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: receiving a request from a potential new user to be admitted to the network; determining an admission control threshold based on the number of already existing users of the network, taking into account any guaranteed bit rate connections of the existing users; and effecting an admission decision for the potential new user based on the determined admission control threshold.
