Abstract: A method for configuring a wireless communication network includes receiving input data characterizing a plurality of sectors in the network. Based on the input data, a measure of quality of service in the network is computed as a function of a radio parameter that can be set by an operator of the network in order to determine an operating characteristic of a transmitter serving at least one of the sectors, other than a frequency allocation list of the at least one of the sectors. An optimal setting of the radio parameter is determined responsively to the measure of quality.

Abstract: A method for channel allocation in a mobile communication network, based on an estimate of respective traffic density in each of a plurality of cells in the network, includes allocating to each of the plurality of the cells a first respective set of static channels for use in communicating with mobile units. The first respective set includes a respective number of the channels that is chosen based on the estimate of the traffic density so that a probability for all the static channels in the first respective set to be in use simultaneously for communicating with the mobile units is no less than a predetermined threshold probability. A second respective set of dynamic channels is allocated to each of the plurality of the cells, depending on the static channels allocated to the cells.
