Claim:
1. A method operable in a wireless communication system comprising a first base station configured to serve user equipment devices (UEs) over an air interface and configured to provide to the UEs a first set of operational parameters useable by the UEs to facilitate operation of the UEs in the wireless communication system, the method comprising: detecting, by the first base station, one or more errors in operation of the wireless communication system; and responsive to the detecting, automatically (i) requesting and receiving, by the first base station, from an adjacent second base station, a second set of operational parameters maintained by the second base station, and (ii) substituting, by the first base station, the second set of operational parameters for the first set of operational parameters, so that the first base station is then configured to provide to the UEs served by the first base station the second set of operational parameters rather than the first set of operational parameters, wherein requesting and receiving the second set of operational parameters from the second base station occurs via an inter-base-station communication interface between the first base station and the second base station.
