Abstract

A radio access network node of a telecommunication network and method, the node including: a system of radiating antennas radiating radio signals through a geographic territory, and a processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to: obtain or generate a topographic map of the geographic territory; based on the topographic map, calculate a coverage map of radio coverage of the geographic territory by the radiated radio signals; based on the coverage map, shrink the topographic map to obtain a reduced-size topographic map; based on the calculated coverage map, create a first data structure including plural first data structure records, one for each point of the calculated coverage map, each first data structure records providing a description of a service delivery capability of the node in that point, and exploit the first data structure to decide how to serve user equipment located in the territory corresponding to the reduced-size topographic map.
