Abstract
A method of managing a cell of a radio telecommunication network, the cell including a site controller to control, via a packet network, a plurality of transmitters distributed over different sites of the cell such that the transmitters of the different sites transmitting over a same frequency band form a transmission channel, a channel of the transmission channel being a control channel dedicated to a transmission of signals relative to an operation of the cell, the signals including general operating signals and specific operating signals, the method including: transmitting a request comprising general operating signals from the site controller to a transmitter selected by said site controller to control storage of general operating signals in the selected transmitter, and to control handling of a transmission of the general operating signals addressed to all terminals present in the cell over the control channel in case of failure of the site controller and/or of the packet network.
