A count is made of the number of mobile assisted handoff (MAHO) attempts between a service cell and a targeted cell. A count is also made of the number of times the targeted cell is considered a Best Candidate (BestCand) for handoff from the service cell. If the targeted cell is not included in the service cell's neighbor list, a potential neighbor cell (PNC), hysteresis is added to the targeted cell to prevent handoffs to the targeted cell. The MAHO and BestCand counts are determined and if the counts meet or exceed predetermined threshold values the targeted cell is added to the list. If the targeted cell is on the neighbor list, no hysteresis is added. If the count data does not meet or exceed the threshold values, the target is removed from the list

Method and system for optimizing cell-neighbor lists

Methods and systems for determining switch assignment within wireless communication regions served by plural telecommunication equipment. Telecommunication switch borders may be re-defined based on system use patterns and data. Cellular antennas and/or base stations may be reassigned to switches based on use data. A region comprising a plurality of switches and cell sites in need of border optimization may be identified ( ). Cell traffic statistical data collected for cellular sites may be utilized in the analysis ( ). Latitude and longitude information for each cell being studied may be identified ( ) and used. Contours defining an optimized region are generated ( ) using the statistical and/or lat/long information for equipment. Switches, cellular antennas and/or base stations may be reassigned based on the optimized region.
