A relay node (800) reports its output power capability to a donor base station or other network node separately for the relay node's backhaul and access links, which may have different maximum output power. A corresponding network node (900), such as a donor base station, an Operations & Maintenance node, an Operational Support Systems node, a Self-Organizing Network node, is configured to request the relay node (800) to report its backhaul link and access link output power class capabilities or maximum output powers or rated output powers to the network node (900), and then to receive the reported capabilities in response. The report may specify a per-antenna transmit power capability; this may be specifically requested in some cases. The received relay node power-class capability information for the backhaul and access links is then used for one or several network management functions, such as radio resources management or network planning and dimensioning.
A method for managing network nodes in a wireless communication network that includes a wireless relay node for wirelessly transmitting signals to and wirelessly receiving signals from one or more user equipments, or to and from one or more other relay nodes, or to and from one or more of both, via an access link, and for wirelessly transmitting signals to and wirelessly receiving signals from a donor base station, via a backhaul link, the method comprising, in a network node:
