Abstract
A method for controlling the operation of the cells of a cellular communication system comprising the steps of displaying a cartographic map () of a geographic area () comprising base transceiver stations (BTS), each intended to serve one or more cells (C) with respective service areas (MAP), associating a pair of Cartesian coordinates (X,Y) and a graphical element (I) to each base transceiver station (BTS), displaying such graphic element (I), selecting a base transceiver station (BTS), determining, for at least one of the cells, the amount (NUM) of traffic generated by mobile terminals (MS) registered by the selected base transceiver station (BTS) so as to obtain the real traffic distribution (NUM, NUM, NUM, . . . NUM) of the cell, representing on the cartographic map () the real traffic distribution (NUM, NUM, NUM, . . . NUM), and comparing it with the service area (MAP) of the cell (C).
