Abstract

A mechanism for controlling resources and/or settings of an access network element like a base station is provided which allows an autonomous reconfiguration of, for example, the antenna configuration based on a set of performance indicators in a base station. The base station can reconfigure itself without the need of operator control so that during periods with low capacity demands the base station will reconfigure correspondingly, which may include a reduction of active cells by turning off the power for a part of the installed equipment.
