There is disclosed an apparatus and method for configuring a set of network elements, comprising: selecting the set of network elements; determining a configuration parameter for each network element in the set; measuring a performance parameter dependent upon said configuration parameter for each selected network element; and selectively adjusting the configuration parameter of at least one network element in dependence on the measured performance parameter for said network elements in the set.

Network optimisation

The present invention concerns a method of gathering location data of terminals in a communication network, the network comprising at least one location determination functionality adapted to determine data indicative of the location of a specified terminal within the network, and a control functionality adapted to control at least the location determination functionality, the method including: acquiring location data of specified terminals in response to corresponding requests from a service application, monitoring a load condition of the at least one location determination functionality resulting from the acquiring of location data of specified terminals, first detecting that the monitored load condition is below a certain threshold value, second detecting that a predetermined event concerning at least one terminal has occurred, and collecting location data of terminals in response to the second detecting.

Method of gathering location data of terminals in a communication network

The present invention relates to a method for communication network parameter setting comprising the steps of a) acquiring and storing information related to a1) service requests issued by terminals attached to the network, a2) positions of the terminals, and a3) establishment of the requested service for the terminals, b) matching, based on the position information, the information to a grid of unit areas, the grid of unit areas representing a geographical region in which the network is operated, c) processing the information per unit area, d) outputting the processed information and e) modifying communication network operating parameters based on the outputted processed information.

Method for communication network performance analysis

The present invention relates to a method and a cellular radio network device () for controlling the admission of user () to a cellular radio network (). In order to determine how much traffic is allowed in a cell (), threshold values are autotuned using quality measurements gathered during high load on a link. Thus, the network capacity is in increased while fulfilling desired quality requirements.
