Abstract

A self-configuring wireless system and a method are disclosed. The method derives re-use criteria and neighbor lists to enable the assignment of channels to cells in a wireless communications system, based entirely on measurements made by the system during normal operation. The disclosed method can be implemented with conventional cellular equipment and functionality provided by current air interface standards, and requires no human participation. The disclosed method also applies to the derivation of neighbor lists.
