A method of using the existing radio resources to automatically determine the current cellular topology is described. Wireless base stations are placed into a mode where they can transmit a signal which can be received by all of the base stations in range of the transmitting base station. Each base station in the system serially broadcast a signal which is received by all other base stations within the range of the transmitting base station. Each of the receiving radios determines the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) at which they received the transmitted signal. The RSSI values are used to determine which base stations are physically co-located into cells and then determine the relative locations of the cells to each other. A method is also described by which the wireless system monitors the mobility traffic of subscribers and makes use of this information to improve the operation of the system. As the user makes use of the mobility features of the system by making and receiving wireless calls, the mobility patterns of the users are tracked and fed into an algorithm which determines and updates to the central wireless configurations. Hence, over time the system is able to determine which cells are more likely to be involved in handover situations.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'utilisation des ressources radio existantes pour déterminer automatiquement la topologie cellulaire existante. Des stations de base sans fil sont placées dans un mode dans lequel elles peuvent transmettre un signal qui peut être reçu par toutes les stations de base dans la portée de la station de base émettrice. Chaque station de base du système diffuse en série un signal qui est reçu par toutes les autres stations de base dans la portée de la station de base émettrice. Chacune des radios réceptrices détermine le niveau d'indication de l'intensité du signal reçu (RSSI) auquel elle reçoit le signal émis. Les valeurs RSSI sont utilisées pour déterminer les stations de base qui sont physiquement co-situées dans des cellules et déterminer ensuite les emplacements relatifs des cellules les unes par rapport aux autres. L'invention porte également sur un procédé dans lequel le système sans fil contrôle le trafic de mobilité des abonnés et utilise ces informations pour améliorer le fonctionnement du système. Lorsque l'utilisateur utilise les caractéristiques de mobilité du système en passant et en recevant des appels sans fil, les séquences de mobilité des utilisateurs sont suivis et fournis à un algorithme qui détermine et met à jour les configurations sans fil centrales. Ainsi, le système est capable, dans le temps, de déterminer les cellules les plus susceptibles d'être impliquées dans des situations de transfert.
