Abstract
The telecommunications network, which includes a plurality of existing cells each having an assigned identifier from a set of identifiers, calculates a value for each existing cell, wherein the value represents the likelihood of an identifier conflict if a new cell is deployed near that existing cell. The value may therefore provide a network operator with an indication of the likelihood of an identifier conflict if a new cell is deployed in a particular area, such that the network operator may proactively avoid identifier conflicts.
