Patent ID: 8559964

Claim:
A method for configuring a wireless telecommunications network adapted to operate according to at least two radio systems, comprising a plurality of base radio stations of a re-configurable type, and a configuration manager associated with at least one set of said base radio stations, wherein each base radio station manages one or more cells of said telecommunications network, each cell has determined radio resources available, and the cells managed by the base radio stations associated with the configuration manager include a first set of cells, the method comprising the steps of: a) measuring, using the configuration manager, a cell load status of said first set of cells; and b) dynamically configuring, using the configuration manager, a sub-set of cells of said first set of cells by assigning thereto determined available radio resources depending on the measurements performed by the configuration manager comprising: calculating, using the configuration manager, a ratio between number of unsatisfied requests and total number of performed requests per system in each one of said first set of cells; using the ratios for the at least two systems in each one of said first set of cells to calculate, using the configuration manager, an index associated with a corresponding one of said first set of cells, said index having a value indicative of an overall congestion condition or status for the at least two systems in said corresponding one of said first set of cells; ordering, using the configuration manager, said first set of cells according to a priority order determined by said index; and reconfiguring, using the configuration manager, said sub-set of cells depending on said priority order.
