Abstract:
1. A method of configuration of an e-Node B device, in order to integrate the e-Node B device in a telecommunication network, comprising the following steps, performed by the e-Node B device: entering a user equipment mode, wherein the e-Node B device behaves like a user equipment of the telecommunication network, establishing a communication link with a management entity of the telecommunication network, receiving configuration data for a self-configuration of the e-Node B in order to enter an operational mode from the management entity of the telecommunication network, through the communication link, self-configuring using the received data in order to provide a communication coverage area in the telecommunication network, and entering an operational state, wherein it offers to communication terminals of the telecommunication network a coverage area, wherein the establishment of the communication link comprises transmitting a data element indicating that the establishment of the communication originates from the e-Node B behaving as the user equipment, wherein the data element is an EPS attach type information element, and wherein the origin of the establishment of the communication link is indicated by a spare bit of the EPS attach type information element set to 1.
