Determining an Optimized Configuration of a Telecommunication Network

A first base station of a telecommunication network, the first base station comprising

• a unit for collecting first measurement reports from first user equipments, which are located within a first cell and which are served by the first base station, wherein the first measurement reports are indicative for the radio link quality between the first base station and the respective first user equipment,
• a unit for generating a first information by the first base station based on the first measurement reports, wherein the first information is indicative for the current coverage situation within the first cell,
• a unit for providing the first information to an external entity being assigned to the telecommunication network, and
• a unit for receiving external information from the external entity,
• whereby the external information is based on the first information and at least on a second information, which has been generated by a second base station based on second measurement reports,
• whereby the second measurement reports have been collected by the second base station from second user equipments being located within a second cell and being served by the second base station, and
• whereby the second measurement reports are indicative for the radio link quality between the second base station and the respective second user equipment, wherein the first base station is adapted to adapt its configuration based on the external information.

A central network element for determining an optimized configuration of a telecommunication network comprising at least a first base station serving first user equipments within a first cell and a second base station serving second user equipments within a second cell, the central network element comprising

• a unit for receiving a first information from the first base station,
• wherein the first information is indicative for the current coverage situation within the first cell,
• wherein the first information has been generated by the first base station based on first measurement reports,
• wherein the first measurement reports have been collected by the first base station from the first user equipments and
• wherein the first measurement reports are indicative for the radio link quality between the first base station and the respective first user equipment,
• a unit for receiving a second information from the second base station,
• wherein the second information is indicative for the current coverage situation within the second cell,
• wherein the second information has been generated by the second base station based on second measurement reports, wherein the second measurement reports have been collected by the second base station from the second user equipments and
• wherein the second measurement reports are indicative for the radio link quality between the second base station and the respective second user equipment, and
• a unit for determining the optimized configuration of the telecommunication network based on the first information and on the second information.
