Abstract

A method for improving overall network performance and/or overall quality of service of a mobile communication network by assigning physical cell identifier information to a plurality of radio cells includes: in a first step and for each of a plurality of coverage area elements of a common radio coverage area, generating a set of handover likelihood information; in a second step, calculating, based on elements of the sets of handover likelihood information, an overlap score value indicative of the overlap between at least one source radio cell and at least one target radio cell; and in a third step, assigning the physical cell identifier information to the at least one source radio cell and/or the at least one target radio cell dependent on the overlap score value.
