An Estimate Frequency Assignment Approach for GSM New Cell Neighbours

Abstract

Operators have to increase their network capacity to meet the traffic caused by increased mobile user and use of services. To increase capacity new cells are added. As a traditional method, for every added new cell, frequency is chosen manually. Several approaches have been developed by operators for frequency assignment. In most of them, along with new cells, neighbour cell frequencies need to be redefined. This causes service failures and decreases service quality. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for automatic frequency planning for new cells. The proposed algorithm gives smart ideas for frequency assignment in an effective and efficient way. © 2015 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
