RADIO TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK MANAGEMENT

摘要

Management of a radio telecommunications network, in which a plurality of a radio network controllers (RNCs) (150) are served with a gateway support node (170) having a given configuration. An added RNC connected to the radio telecommunications network is detected and then it is detected the serving gateway support node if the added RNC is a flat radio access node. If the added RNC is detected as a flat radio access node, it is verified whether the configuration allows serving the added RNC and if yes, the added RNC is connected with the serving gateway support node and correspondingly the configuration is modified. Alternatively, if the added RNC is detected as not being a flat radio access node, connecting the added RNC with the serving gateway support node is refused.
