Patent ID: 8879486

Claim:
A method for facilitating establishment of a traffic interface between a first base station and a base station gateway in a mobile telecommunication network, wherein subsequently deployed second base stations will have a connection to a core network and to the first base station of the mobile telecommunication network via the base station gateway, the method comprising: pre-allocating base station identities for the subsequently deployed second base stations to be connected to the base station gateway; mapping the pre-allocated base station identities to at least one Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), wherein the mapping of the pre-allocated base station identities comprises mapping the pre-allocated base station identities to one plain FQDN; sending the at least one FQDN together with at least one IP address of the base station gateway to a Domain Name System (DNS) server; and configuring the DNS server with the at least one FQDN and the at least one IP address such that an FQDN of a base station of the subsequently deployed second base stations can be mapped to an identity of the base station gateway which the base station of the subsequently deployed second base stations will be connected to, to facilitate the establishment of the traffic interface between the first base station and the base station gateway.
