Configuring a communication network, adapted to a specific bandwidth requirement

Abstract

A method is proposed for managing a mobile communication network comprising a set of network access units adapted to cover a geographical area, said method being implemented by computer and comprising, for at least one access unit: a determination (23, 24, 25, 26) of a configuration of the access unit, the configuration being adapted to a quality of service criterion in a coverage area of ​​the access unit, the quality of service criterion being defined for a total amount of traffic to be transmitted in the geographical area, the determination taking into account interference due to simultaneous transmissions from a plurality of other access units of the network, the interference being obtained by applying (1) a signal propagation model in the geographical area, in which the signal propagation model takes into account an overall contribution of the other access units of the network to the interference,The overall contribution is determined based on an average distance between the network access units.
