Abstract:
A system, methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for providing coverage of a wireless communication network are described. The wireless communication network comprises radio base stations (150) mounted on mobile robots (100) and the mobile robots (100) are capable of communicating with a maintenance base (110). The method comprises to determine a radio coverage area (140) to be provided by the base stations mounted on said mobile robots (100). The method further comprises to deploy said mobile robots (100) at geographical positions suitable to provide the radio coverage area (140) and the maintenance base (110) replacing a deployed mobile robot (100) in order to maintain the radio coverage area (140).
