An eNodeB comprising: a memory; at least one processor; instructions included in the memory, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the eNodeB to perform the operations comprising: identify an ongoing cell outage of a neighboring cell; reconfigure a cell provided by the eNodeB to compensate for the neighboring cell responsive to identifying an ongoing cell outage of the neighboring cell; modify a cell compensation status state for the cell provided by the eNodeB to indicate that the cell is compensating for the neighboring cell; and generate a notification to a management entity indicating that the cell compensation status state has changed, wherein the cell compensation status state is indicated in the notification in a cOCStatus attribute of an Information Object Class, the cOCStatus attribute indicating a cell compensation status state selected from a cOC-Compensating state to indicate that this cell is compensating for another cell, a cOCActivating state to indicate that cell outage compensation was starting to compensate for the cell, a cOCActive state to indicate that the cell is being compensated for, a cOCDeactivating state to indicate that activities to remove the compensation of the cell are complete, and a cOCDeactive state to indicate a default state of no compensation for the cell. a memory; at least one processor; instructions included in the memory, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the eNodeB to perform the operations comprising: identify an ongoing cell outage of a neighboring cell; reconfigure a cell provided by the eNodeB to compensate for the neighboring cell responsive to identifying an ongoing cell outage of the neighboring cell; modify a cell compensation status state for the cell provided by the eNodeB to indicate that the cell is compensating for the neighboring cell; and generate a notification to a management entity indicating that the cell compensation status state has changed, wherein the cell compensation status state is indicated in the notification in a cOCStatus attribute of an Information Object Class, the cOCStatus attribute indicating a cell compensation status state selected from a identify an ongoing cell outage of a neighboring cell; reconfigure a cell provided by the eNodeB to compensate for the neighboring cell responsive to identifying an ongoing cell outage of the neighboring cell; modify a cell compensation status state for the cell provided by the eNodeB to indicate that the cell is compensating for the neighboring cell; and generate a notification to a management entity indicating that the cell compensation status state has changed, wherein the cell compensation status state is indicated in the notification in a cOCStatus attribute of an Information Object Class, the cOCStatus attribute indicating a cell compensation status state selected from a cOC-Compensating state to indicate that this cell is compensating for another cell, a cOCActivating state to indicate that cell outage compensation was starting to compensate for the cell, a cOCActive state to indicate that the cell is being compensated for, a cOCDeactivating state to indicate that activities to remove the compensation of the cell are complete, and a cOCDeactive state to indicate a default state of no compensation for the cell.
