Abstract

A method for the laying out of the infrastructure of a cellular communications network, notably with mobile units, the network being of the type constituted by a plurality of broadcasting transmitters, each broadcasting on its own broadcasting cell, at least certain of the cells being adjacent and having common overlapping zones, a system of management of the network assigning a single broadcasting cell to a given mobile unit at a given time, according to a given broadcasting transmitter assigning method, the method for the laying out consisting in determining the geographical location and the technical characteristics of each of the transmitters of the network in taking account of the conditions of entry/exit and of movement of the mobile units in the overlapping zones. Thus, the coverage of the network is determined dynamically, such as it is seen by the mobile units.
