Abstract

The present invention concerns a method for enabling a first base station to be included within a wireless cellular network, the wireless cellular network comprising a server, a plurality of second base stations and a telecommunication network linking the base stations and the server, the base stations managing cells. The first base station transfers a first message comprising at least an identifier of the first base station and information representative of the location of the first base station to the server, receives from the server a second message comprising an identifier of a second base station which manages a cell which is neighbor of a cell of the first base station and a certificate proving that the first base station is authorized to communicate with the second base station, transfers to the second base station a third message comprising the certificate in order to establish a communication with the second base station.
