Abstract
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.
