Wireless frequency re-use determination systems and methods
First Claim
1. A method of measuring frequency interference between a plurality of cell sites in a wireless telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- selecting a frequency in a first cell site to be used as a beacon frequency, wherein selecting a frequency includes selecting a frequency carrying the least amount of traffic across a plurality of cell sites and protecting the frequency from carrying traffic;
activating the beacon frequency in the first cell site;
recording, at a telecommunications switch, a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a first wireless device operating in the first cell site and a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a second wireless device operating in a second cell site; and
determining the frequency interference between the first cell site and the second cell site based on the signal strengths.

Abstract
A method of measuring frequency interference between adjacent cell sites in a wireless telecommunications system. The method includes selecting a frequency in a cell site to be used as a beacon frequency. The method also includes activating the beacon frequency in the cell site and recording, at a telecommunications switch, a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a first wireless device operating in the cell site and a signal strength of the beacon frequency as measured by a second wireless device operating in another cell site. The method further includes determining the frequency interference between the cell site and the other cell site based on the signal strengths.
