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.
