Abstract:
1. A method for self-organizing a network comprising the steps of: in a wireless network comprising a plurality of base stations, providing each base station with a self-organizing network component coupled to a radio resource management component and a radio resource control component; establishing a self-organizing network layer for performing radio resource coordination for the base stations using at least one of the self-organizing network components; each self-organizing network component receiving radio allocation information from their respective radio resource management component and providing that radio allocation information to the self-organizing network layer; the self-organizing network layer determining radio resource allocation for the plurality of base stations within the network; the self-organizing network layer accepting a request for additional radio resource from the self-organizing component of one of the plurality of base stations; said self-organizing network components of the plurality of base stations coordinating, via the self-organizing network layer, radio resource allocation among the plurality of base stations to accommodate the request; wherein: each base station forms at least one coordination groups based on a list of neighbors received from a location server; self-organizing components within a coordination group agree on an algorithm, and each self-organizing component within a group runs on same set of inputs from neighboring base stations and its own.
