Abstract:
The invention relates to a method, a performance data transmission device (17) and a computer program product for performing performance management reporting from a first to a second node in a communication system. The reporting concerns communication over one communication interface (WI) of a node in the communication system and the performance data transmission device comprises a data collecting unit (22) that obtains performance data relating to the communication over the communication interface for transmission to the second node and configuration data, a data scheduling unit that schedules the transmission of performance data and configuration data in a sequence of consecutive reports according to a reporting scheme, where the sequence makes up a set of reports, and a transmitting unit (28) that transmits the reports according to the reporting scheme and where configuration data is only present in a subset of the set of reports including at least one report.
Abstract:
Cell outage within a wireless communication network is automatically mitigated. This way, neither manual operator intervention nor manual base station reconfiguration is needed to cover problematic cells. Quality of wireless services provided by the network improves when cell outage is automatically mitigated. In one embodiment, cell outage is mitigated in a wireless communication network by automatically communicating cell status messages between radio base stations or within a node that controls the radio base stations (300) indicating whether one or more cells within the network are currently disabled or expected to be disabled. The coverage area of one or more preexisting cells is modified to cover those cells which are currently disabled or expected to be disabled as indicated by the cell status messages (302). The inter-base station interface can also be used to send messages directly between the base stations indicating addition of new cells or deletion of preexisting cells.
Abstract:
Un método para mitigar la interrupción de servicio de celda en una red de comunicación inalámbrica, que comprende: identificar una o más celdas preexistentes a las que prestan servicio una primera estación base de radio que tiene un área de cobertura que puede modificarse para cubrir al menos parcialmente una celda vecina a la que presta servicio una segunda estación base de radio que actualmente está desactivada o se espera que sea desactivada como lo indica una mensaje de estado de celda originado a partir de la segunda estación base de radio y recibido por la primera estación base de radio (700 y 702); y en donde el mensaje de estado de celda indica celdas que son vecinas a la celda vecina a la que da servicio la segunda estación base de radio, y determinar si la primera estación base de radio presta servicio a alguna de las celdas indicadas en el mensaje de estado de celda, y si es así, modificar el área de cobertura de una o más de las celdas preexistentes para cubrir al menos parcialmente la celda (704) vecina.
