Method for controlling the operation of a base station of a wireless cellular telecommunication network

A method for controlling operation of a first base station of a wireless cellular telecommunication network including plural base stations and a server, the method executed by the first base station comprising:

• setting transmission power of signals transferred by the first base station in a cell managed by the first base station at a first transmission power value;
• detecting a predetermined signal transferred by a mobile terminal of the wireless cellular telecommunication network;
• and if a predetermined signal transferred by the mobile terminal is detected:
• establishing a communication link with the server;
• obtaining, from the server, information identifying each second base station that manages a cell that is neighbour of the cell managed by the first base station and that is transferring signals in the cell the second base station manages at a transmission power higher than the first transmission power value;
• establishing a communication link with each second base station;
• and
• setting the transmission power of the signals transferred by the first base station in the cell managed by the first base station at a second transmission power value higher than the first transmission power.

A device controlling operation of a first base station of a wireless cellular telecommunication network including plural base stations and a server, the device being included in the first base station and comprising;

• means for setting the transmission power of the signals transferred by the first base station in the cell managed by the first base station at a first transmission power value;
• means for detecting a predetermined signal transferred by a mobile terminal of the wireless cellular telecommunication network;
• means for establishing a communication link with a server;
• means for obtaining from the server, information identifying each second base station that manages a cell that is neighbour of the cell managed by the first base station and that is transferring signals in the cell the second base station manages at a transmission power higher than the first transmission power value;
• means for establishing a communication link with each second base station;
• and
• means for setting the transmission power of the signals transferred by the first base station in the cell managed by the first base station at a second transmission power value than the first transmission power.
