Abstract

A network reconfigurator (26) is provided for use in a telecommunications network (20) comprising a network (24) of radio base stations configured for providing radio access service to the telecommunications network for wireless stations (30). The network reconfigurator is arranged or configured, for differing service outages attributable to differing downed radio base stations (28) of the network of radio base stations, to coordinately and dynamically change modifiable characteristics of plural remaining base stations for at least partially compensating for the service outages. Preferably the reconfigurator (26) is configured, for differing service outages, to dynamically change differing modifiable characteristics of differing plural remaining base stations for at least partially compensating for the service outages. Modifying a characteristic of the plural remaining base stations can include modification of one or more of the following: antenna tilt of at least one of the plural remaining base station; power of a downlink common control channel of at least one of the plural remaining base stations; composition of a neighbor list of at least one of the plural remaining base stati…
