Abstract: A computer implemented process compares signals communicated between a known position and a plurality of base stations in a cellular telephone system to determine the level of interference with a signal on a channel expected to serve the known position, and determines a value indicating a probability of interference with a signal on a channel expected to serve the known position.

Abstract: A method for detecting inequality in path balance in a cellular telephone system including the steps of providing data describing measured signal strength of signals received at a mobile unit and at a cell site in the absence of interference at a plurality of points describing the entire system; providing data describing measured signal strength of signals transmitted from each cell and from the mobile unit in the cellular telephone system; accumulating and averaging the data describing measured signal strength of signals received at the mobile unit and at the cell site to eliminate path loss variances between points and the cell site; selecting data describing measured signal strength of signals received at a mobile unit with path loss variances eliminated, data describing measured signal strength of signals transmitted from the mobile unit, data describing measured signal strength of signals received at a cell with path loss variances eliminated, data describing signal strength of signals transmitted from e

Abstract: A computer implemented process which includes furnishing data indicating the actual strengths of all signals to be transmitted by a plurality of cells each positioned at an individual physical position in a mobile communications system and to be received by a mobile unit at a plurality of points of an entire mobile communications system, relating data indicating the actual strengths of all signals to the physical positions from which the signals are to be transmitted, identifying cells transmitting signals likely to serve each point of the plurality of points, and comparing planned frequencies to be used at any position serving a point with planned frequencies to be used at other positions to identify cells transmitting signals which might interfere with signals transmitted by cells serving a point.
