Abstract: A method of optimising real cellular, wireless communication networks comprising the steps of providing location-referenced values of subscriber traffic for area elements; transmitting a reference signal of constant transmission power; providing a cell-referenced value of the power received from the reference signal; providing a model of the communication network having an original model network configuration, and iteratively optimising the model network configuration by accumulating and weighting the subscriber traffic values of the area elements and by locally adjusting the model network configuration, to provide an optimised model network configuration.

Abstract: In a GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) system, a lookup table used to scramble intermediate results in a pseudorandom fashion is also used to uniquely associate radio facilities with one another, particularly to associate mobile stations with a base station. Several different lookup tables (RNTBLi) may be used which are uniquely assigned to the radio facilities, with the intercommunicating radio facilities being assigned the same lookup table. The different lookup tables are preferably generated on the basis of subscriber identifications, whereby each subscriber is assigned a respective one of the lookup tables.
