DECENTRALIZED AND COORDINATED ADJUSTMENT OF HANDOVER PARAMETER VALUES BASED ON A NETWORK OPERATOR POLICY

摘要

Decentralized and coordinated adjustment of handover parameter values based on a network operator policy. It is described a method for adjusting a parameter value for controlling a handover of a user equipment between a first (110) and a second base station (120) of a telecommunication network (100). The method comprises (a) providing policy information about a desired nominal operational condition of the network (100) by an operator (105) to the first (110) and the second base station (120), (b) determining a first and second optimized parameter value for carrying out the hand-over based on the provided policy information, (c) transmitting an information message between the first (110) and the second base station (120), wherein the information message is indicative for an intended change of the first and/or the second optimized parameter value, and (d) adjusting the first optimized parameter value by means of the first base station (110) and/or the second optimized parameter value by means of the second base station (120) in a coordinated manner based on the transmitted information message. It is further described a base station and a computer program for carrying out and controlling, respectively, the described method.
