Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling a base station of a first telecommunications system using control information generated in a second telecommunications system and transferred to the base station through a mobile station capable of operating in both the first and second systems. The control information is transmitted from the second system to the mobile station during operation of the mobile station in the second system. Upon operation of the mobile station in the first system the control information is then transferred to the first system. The control information is then used within the first system to control operation of a base station of the first system. The control information may include instructions defining parameters of operation for the base station. The instructions may include control data assigning radio channels or a frequency band to the base station and, instructions for setting output power levels for the base station.
