Abstract
Optimal handover margins in a cellular communication system (100) are determined by computing a power budget (701) for each base station/neighbor combination in the communication system (100) and determining a probability distribution function (703) for each base station/neighbor combination in the communication system (100). Once the probability distribution function for each base station/neighbor combination is known, optimal handover margins are determined by maximizing communication system traffic over all base stations while at the same time holding call quality to acceptable levels.
