Abstract
A cellular communications network includes multiple base stations. In order for the network to provide the best possible coverage for users, it is necessary for the radio configuration of each base station to take into consideration the radio configurations of nearby base stations. Operational context information for the access point is transmitted according to a publish-subscribe messaging pattern. Information is received identifying at least one other access point meeting proximity criteria. The access point subscribes to publish-subscribe messages from the or each other access point identified in said information, and sets its radio configuration information in view of the received messages from the or each other access point.
