Automatic implementation of channel plan change in cellular network

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically changing a channel from a current plan to a new predetermined plan in a cellular network, the cellular network comprising a plurality of cells, each cell corresponding to at least one device to which a device can be allocated Channels are used to transmit signals to and from mobile end stations in the cell. The method includes: determining how the equipment will be changed by a sequence number related to the cell location, the equipment number, the current channel number or the new channel number. The present invention provides efficient implementation of a given channel change causing minimal interference.

Description

field of invention The invention relates to a method for automatically effecting predetermined channel plan changes in a cellular network. Background of the invention A common type of conventional mobile radio communication system includes a plurality of radio base stations distributed over a certain geographical area. Communications with mobile end stations are transmitted via local base stations to a central network which may be coupled to the public switched telephone network. In such a system, a cell can be defined as the local geographical area in which communication between the mobile end station in question and the base station is possible while complying with a set of predefined parameters. Such parameters can correspond to comparative measured signal strength values ​​of signals transmitted between the mobile terminal station and a given base station and adjacent base stations, respectively. These parameters can also relate to error rates. The mobile end station...
