Abstract
A method, system, device and computer program product are provided for analyzing a cellular wireless communication network of a first type. For analyzing the cellular wireless communication network of the first type, communication connection condition parameters for one cell are measured, which communication connection condition parameters are derived from signals received by a mobile station from the one cell and from a plurality of other cells. The communication connection condition parameters are transmitted to a network control element in the form of mobile measurement reports. A network analysis functionality associated with the network control element processes the mobile measurement reports and evaluates, on the basis of processing results, a potential of the one cell for a usage in a wireless communication network of a second type, and/or estimated network parameters of the wireless communication network of the second type, like network performance or network dimensioning. This is repeated in all other cells in the wireless communication network of the first type.
