Abstract

There are provided a system and method of computerized optimizing neighbor relation tables (NRTs) of access points in a cellular network comprising a plurality of access points (APs). The method comprises: a) obtaining initial handover-related estimations for AP pairs each constituted by a given source AP and its neighbouring APs located in a predefined range and thereby considerable as candidates for an NRT of the given AP; b) generating a handover (HO) prediction model; c) using the generated HO prediction model to assess HO-related counts for each AP pair of the AP pairs; d) using the assessed HO-related counts to generate, by the computer, data usable for NRT optimization; and e) enabling modifying at least one NRT in accordance with the generated data.
