The present invention relates to a method for generating a space-related traffic database for a radio network which comprises a plurality of radio cells which can each be assigned to a group of radio cells, with a region to be mapped being subdivided into area elements by a grid and each of the area elements being allocated a respective assignment probability for each of the radio cells which supply the area element and a land-use class from amongst a finite group of land-use classes by generation being achieved by a minimization process in which the distance between the measured traffic of a radio cell and the predicted traffic of the radio cell is minimized for each radio cell, with the traffic, which is to be predicted, of a respective radio cell being set equal to the sum of area elements which are weighted by land use class-specific and group-specific coefficients, which area elements of the respective radio cell for a respective land-use class and for a respective group of radio cells are produced from the assignment probabilities of the area elements to the radio cells included in the process, and the coefficients are determined by the minimization process and assigned to the corresponding radio cell. The present invention also relates to a computer program and a corresponding computer-program product.
