Abstract:
1. A method for configuring a wireless telecommunications network being adapted to operate according to at least one radio system, comprising a plurality of re-configurable base radio stations, wherein each base radio station is adapted to manage one or more cells of said telecommunications network and wherein each cell has corresponding radio resources available, comprising: obtaining measurements of a load status of one or more cells; and dynamically configuring at least one of the cells by assigning thereto determined available radio resources depending on measurements of the cell load status, wherein said dynamically configuring comprises: based on the measurements of the cell load status, determining at least one candidate radio resource to be assigned to the cell; prior to assigning the candidate radio resource to the cell, forecasting an impact on network performance at a radio level potentially caused by the assignment of the candidate radio resource to the cell, wherein the forecasting an impact on the network performance comprises forecasting a resultant signal-to-noise ratio and comparing the forecasted signal-to-noise ratio to a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio, wherein the forecasting a resultant signal-to-noise ratio comprises, depending on the measured cell load status, one of: in case the forecasted impact complies with predetermined requirements, assigning the candidate radio resource to the cell.
