A method for configuring a radio coverage in a cellular radio communications network comprising a plurality of radio cells; a target radio coverage being associated with each of the radio cells; each operational radio cell providing an effective radio coverage defined by a transmission power value of said radio cell; said method comprising the following steps: /a/ applying a given transmission power value to a set of at least one radio cell determined from the plurality of radio cells; /b/ selecting a radio cell from said determined set of radio cells; /c/ obtaining cellular information relative to a group of radio cells comprising the selected radio cell and neighbour cells; /d/ based on the cellular information, comparing the effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and the respective target radio coverages of the cells of said group; /e/ if the effective radio coverage of at least one radio cell of said group of radio cells is lower than the target radio coverage of said at least one radio cell of the group: - applying new transmission power values to the radio cells of said group of cells, respectively; and - iterating steps /c/ to /e/. said method being characterised in that it further comprises the steps of: limiting the number of iterations /c/ to /e/ to a maximum number and, if the set of effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and of its neighbour cells is lower than or equal to the set of corresponding target radio coverages, indicating on a base station belonging to this radio communications network that a change in the position of said base station is required to be able to obtain a global configuration of the radio coverage. a target radio coverage being associated with each of the radio cells; each operational radio cell providing an effective radio coverage defined by a transmission power value of said radio cell; said method comprising the following steps: /a/ applying a given transmission power value to a set of at least one radio cell determined from the plurality of radio cells; /b/ selecting a radio cell from said determined set of radio cells; /c/ obtaining cellular information relative to a group of radio cells comprising the selected radio cell and neighbour cells; /d/ based on the cellular information, comparing the effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and the respective target radio coverages of the cells of said group; /e/ if the effective radio coverage of at least one radio cell of said group of radio cells is lower than the target radio coverage of said at least one radio cell of the group: - applying new transmission power values to the radio cells of said group of cells, respectively; and - iterating steps /c/ to /e/. /a/ applying a given transmission power value to a set of at least one radio cell determined from the plurality of radio cells; /b/ selecting a radio cell from said determined set of radio cells; /c/ obtaining cellular information relative to a group of radio cells comprising the selected radio cell and neighbour cells; /d/ based on the cellular information, comparing the effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and the respective target radio coverages of the cells of said group; /e/ if the effective radio coverage of at least one radio cell of said group of radio cells is lower than the target radio coverage of said at least one radio cell of the group: - applying new transmission power values to the radio cells of said group of cells, respectively; and - iterating steps /c/ to /e/. - applying new transmission power values to the radio cells of said group of cells, respectively; and - iterating steps /c/ to /e/. said method being characterised in that it further comprises the steps of: limiting the number of iterations /c/ to /e/ to a maximum number and, if the set of effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and of its neighbour cells is lower than or equal to the set of corresponding target radio coverages, indicating on a base station belonging to this radio communications network that a change in the position of said base station is required to be able to obtain a global configuration of the radio coverage. limiting the number of iterations /c/ to /e/ to a maximum number and, if the set of effective radio coverages of the cells of said group and of its neighbour cells is lower than or equal to the set of corresponding target radio coverages, indicating on a base station belonging to this radio communications network that a change in the position of said base station is required to be able to obtain a global configuration of the radio coverage.
