Abstract
The invention relates to a method for indicating a physical change in relation to an exterior of a network node module included in a network node in a wireless communication network, such a network node module and such a network node. According to the invention the network node module (19) comprises a movement detector (20) configured to detect movement between a male element and a corresponding female element, where the network node module comprises one of the elements and both elements are required for obtaining an operative network node, and a control unit (24) configured to generate an indication of a physical change of the network node module based on the detected movement.

A network node module included in a network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, the network node module comprising:
- a movement detector configured to detect movement between a first and a second mating element, where the network node module comprises the first mating element and both mating elements are required for obtaining an operative network node;
- a module memory configured to be reset based on the detected movement thereby erasing old location data;
- and
- a control unit configured to generate an indication of a physical change in relation to the exterior of the network node module based on the detected movement and to initiate an indication handling procedure based on the generated indication, the indication handling procedure comprising receiving new location data.
A network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network, said network node comprising at least one network node module, the network node module comprising:
- a movement detector configured to detect movement between a first and a second mating element, where the network node module comprises the first mating element and both mating elements are required for obtaining an operative network node;
- a module memory configured to be reset based on the detected movement thereby erasing old location data;
- and
- a control unit configured to generate an indication of a physical change of the network node module based on the detected movement and to initiate an indication handling procedure based on the generated indication, the indication handling procedure comprising receiving new location data.
