Abstract
A method is provided in a third generation or higher telecommunications network of updating other radio network controllers controlling neighbour cells referred to in a list of neighbour cells recorded at a first radio network controller RNC controlling a first cell. The updating is with information on a change or changes relating to said first cell by transmitting the information direct to each of the radio network controllers RNCs to be updated.
Claims19
A method in a telecommunications network of updating all other radio network controllers controlling neighbour cells referred to in a list of neighbour cells recorded at a first radio network controller (RNC) controlling a first cell with information on a change or changes relating to said first cell, by the first radio network controller (RNC) being instructed to notify changes relating to said first cell to all said other radio network controllers, and transmitting the information direct from the first radio network controller (RNC) to each of the radio network controllers (RNCs) to be updated.
A telecommunications network comprising a first radio network controller RNC operative to control a first cell, and other radio network controllers, the first radio network controller being operative to store a list of neighbour cells and, being instructed to notify changes relating to said first cell to all said other radio network controllers, to update all the other radio network controllers controlling the neighbour cells referred to in the list, the updating being with information on a change or changes relating to said first cell by transmitting the information direct to each of the other radio network controllers.
A telecommunications radio network controller (RNC) operative to control a first cell and to store a list of neighbour cells and, being instructed to notify changes relating to said first cell to all said other radio network controllers, to update all other radio network controllers controlling the neighbour cells referred to in the list, the updating being with information on a change or changes relating to said first cell by transmitting the information direct to each of the other radio network controllers.
A telecommunications operations and management centre OMC-U operative to control a first radio network controller (RNC) to (a) control a first cell, to (b) store a list of neighbour cells and to (c) update all other radio network controllers controlling the neighbour cells referred to in the list with information on a change or changes relating to said first cell, by transmitting the information direct to each of the other radio network controllers, the OMC-U instructing the first radio network controller (RNC) to notify changes relating to said first cell to all said other radio network controllers.
