OPTIMISATION OF A CELLULAR RADIO NETWORK

摘要

Self-optimisation for a base station within a cellular radio network is provided. The base station has a first communication interface for providing a service to mobile terminals and a second communication interface for communication with other network entities of the cellular radio network. A degradation in performance of the service provided over the first communication interface is detected. A reliability level for the second communication interface is identified and a Self-Organising Network (SON) algorithm is implemented in dependence on the identified reliability level and in response to the detection of degradation.
