1. A method for determining a location area code (LAC) list of a first cell in a mobile communication network, comprising following steps:
- finding at least a potential LAC labeling operation for the first cell;
determining a respective gain for each potential LAC labeling operation;
selecting one of the potential LAC labeling operations according to the respective gains; and
adjusting the LAC list according to the selected potential LAC labeling operation.

Abstract
A partitioning method for a mobile communication network with overlapping location areas is disclosed. The method comprises: finding at least a potential LAC labeling operation for each cell within the network; determining a respective gain for each potential LAC labeling operation; selecting one potential LAC labeling operations according to the respective gains; and adjusting the LAC list of the cell according to the selected operation. The method can provide an optimal partitioning to upgrade the network performance.

21. A method for predicting a location area code (LAC) distribution of a first cell in a mobile communication network with overlapping location areas, comprising following steps:
-
(a) determining a respective contribution to each LAC of the first cell provided by a neighboring cell of the first cell according to signal movements from the neighboring cell to the first cell and an initial LAC distribution of the neighboring cell;
(b) repeating the step (a) for each of other neighboring cells of the first cell; and
(c) predicting the LAC distribution of the first cell according to the respective contributions provided by the neighboring cells of the first cell. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
