Abstract
A mechanism to handle conflict situations relating to configuration parameter value changes that can be made by two or more different self-organizing network functions is provided. The mechanism is based on storing and maintaining at least short term history information on configuration parameter value changes (33, 34, 35, 36) and utilizing the history information to determine whether or not to allow a configuration parameter value change.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- storing, for at least one configuration parameter whose value is changeable by one or more self-organizing network functions, at least short term history information on changes.
A method comprising:
- obtaining, in response to an intended change to a configuration parameter that is configurable by one or more self-organizing network functions, history information on changes of the configuration parameter;
- comparing the history information with one or more predetermined conditions;
- and
- in response to the one or more predetermined conditions not being fulfilled, rejecting the intended change;
- otherwise allowing it.

A system comprising:
- a first network node comprising,
- obtaining means for obtaining, in response to an intended change to a configuration parameter that is configurable by one or more self-organizing network functions, history information on changes of the configuration parameter;
- comparing means for comparing the history information with one or more predetermined conditions;
- and
- rejecting means for, in response to the one or more predetermined conditions not being fulfilled, rejecting the intended change, otherwise allowing it;
- a second network node, comprising,
- storing means for storing, for at least one configuration parameter whose value is changeable by one or more self-organizing network functions, at least short term history information on changes.
