Abstract
An embodiment of the current invention is directed to determining one or more sectors in a network divided into sectors that require additional communication resources. Total-hourly, busy-time traffic is collected for each sector. A total-monthly, busy-time traffic is determined for each month, based on the total-hourly, busy-time traffic. The sectors are divided into a number of groups, based on the total-monthly, busy-time traffic for each sector. An ordering of sectors in each group is created, based on the total-hourly, busy-time traffic, utilizing a different ordering algorithm for each group. One or more sectors requiring additional communication resources are determined based on the ordering of sectors.
