Abstract
A cellular communication system and method for determining cell relations between cells is disclosed. The cellular communication system transmits signals from one or more transmitters, for example, mobile stations or base stations, over a plurality of radio frequency channels that are assigned to the cells. The transmitted signals over the plurality of radio frequency channels are received at each one of the cells and their received signal strengths are measured at corresponding measurement times. The received signal strength measurements and corresponding measurement times are processed to determine whether a measured received signal strength at a corresponding measurement time is based on a transmission from a single transmitter in a cell. The measurements corresponding to signals found originated from single transmitters are used for determining the cell relations in terms of such parameters as path gain values or C/I ratios.
