TEMPORARY ACTIVATION OF INTER-RAT FEATURES IN BASE STATIONS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for temporarily activating inter-RAT features in neighboring base stations when a base station becomes out of service. A system in one embodiment receives a notification message from a base station that the base station becomes out of service. The system then identifies other base stations that are neighbors of the out-of-service base station, and generates instructions to activate inter-RAT features in the neighboring base stations while the base station is out of service. The system then transmits the instructions to the neighboring base stations to activate the inter-RAT features. When the base station becomes operational again, the system deactivates the inter-RAT features in the neighboring base stations.
