<p>A method and system are disclosed for implementing management functions on both sides of a base station management interface (116) (i.e., in both the base station manager (114) and the base station (104)) so that a plurality of different types of base stations (104) can be managed by the same base station manager (114). The management service functions are allocated to the specific base station(s) (104) involved. As such, each type of base station (104) in the network (100) can maintain all of the software needed to perform the base station management services (e.g., element management services). Consequently, one common base station manager (114) can be used for the management of any type of base station (104). In other words, the base station manager (114) can be considered as a generic base station manager (220), and any base station (104) can be connected to the generic base station manager (220) via a management interface (116).</p> |
