Claim Text:
1. A method, carried out by a programmed server, for managing radio frequency layer priority settings for radio access network nodes in a mobile wireless network supporting multiple radio frequency layers corresponding to particular radio frequency bands with each frequency band being sub-divided into multiple channels, the method comprising: providing the programmed server with a radio frequency layer priority settings re-designation configuration for a ranked set of condition areas, the configuration including, for each one of the ranked set of conditional areas; evaluating, by the programmed server, the trigger definition for at least one of the ranked set of conditional areas based upon current conditions; issuing, by the programmed server based upon the current conditions meeting the trigger definition for at least one of the ranked set of conditional areas during the evaluating, a message to re-designate radio frequency layer priority settings for a radio access network node according to the set of radio frequency layer priority settings of a highest ranked conditional area for which the current conditions meet the trigger definition; and receiving, by the programmed server after the issuing, network characteristics feedback.
