Abstract
Method for topology determination in a mobile communications site, wherein the mobile communications site has n nodes each having m ports. In ‘determining’ (S1), the number of existing nodes is determined. In ‘designating’, one of these nodes is designated as the master node and the others as slave nodes. In ‘selecting’, a slave node is selected as a test slave node and the communication of the other slave nodes is prevented. In ‘testing’, a test is performed to determine via which ports of the master node and via which ports of the test slave node a communication is possible. Thereafter, ‘selecting’ and ‘testing’ are repeated for the other slave nodes, wherein in the method step ‘selecting’, a different slave node is selected as the test slave node in each case. In the method step ‘generating’, a connection topology is then generated for the master node.
