Abstract
Disclosed is a method for improving system performance in a wireless communication network comprising one or more network cells. Each network cell comprises one or more transmission points transmitting cell specific information. The method comprises determining (201, 401) whether a first TRxP comprised in a first network cell fulfills a utilization criterion. When it is determined that the first TRxP fulfills the utilization criterion (202, 401) the method further comprises gathering (204, 403) utilization statistics associated with the first TRxP and/or with the first network cell, evaluating (205, 404) the gathered utilization statistics and determining (206,405), based on the evaluated utilization statistics, whether moving the first TRxP to a second network cell will improve overall system performance of the wireless communication network. Also disclosed are arrangements, transmission points, radio control functions and computer program products.
