Abstract
A method for predicting interference experienced by a first cell (102) from a second cell (104), where both cells (102, 104) have at least one frequency hopping parameter, comprises the steps of determining (step 402) an estimated interference level corresponding to interference experienced by the first cell (102) due to the second cell (104); calculating the probability of the first cell hopping to substantially the same frequency as the second cell; weighting (step 406) the estimated interference level with the calculated probability, and modifying (step 314) the at least one frequency hopping parameter in order modify the weighted estimated interference level.
