Cellular telephone interference prediction and frequency reuse planning

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is realized by a computer implemented process which includes furnishing data indicating the actual strengths of all signals to be transmitted between a plurality of cells each positioned at an individual physical position in a mobile communications system and 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 able to serve each point of the plurality of points, 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, and determining whether planned frequencies to be used at any position serving a point interfere with planned frequencies to be used at other positions over the entire mobile communications system.
These and other features of the invention will be better understood by reference to the detailed description which follows taken together with the drawings in which like elements are referred to by like designations throughout the several views.
