Abstract:
In a cellular telecommunications system, outage management is managed in respect of each cell B by a nominated neighbor cell A, the identity of which is recorded in a neighbor list for cell B. If a cell C, D, other than the nominated neighbor, detects a suspected outage in a cell B, the cell detecting the outage identifies the nominated neighbor A from the neighbor list of cell B, and transmits an outage report to the nominated neighbor cell A, which coordinates a handover and outage management process. This avoids multiple detections of the same outage resulting in conflicting attempts to manage the recovery process. Selection of the nominated neighbor of a cell B may be made autonomously by the cell itself or by a centralized processor, and may be done in such a way as to support network resilience by avoiding reciprocity between cells, selecting, for a cell B connected to a first backhaul system, a nominated neighbor A using a second backhaul system, and avoiding the use of cells E having intermittent or transient connections to the network.

Claim (Index 10):
The cellular base station according to  claim 9 , wherein the handover management processor manages handover of mobile terminals between base stations, arranged such that if the neighbor detection processor identifies that the cellular base station is itself the nominated neighbor of the outaged base station, the handover management processor coordinates an outage management process.
