A method and system for controlling configuration of a relay, where the relay has a coverage footprint and provides service on a first air interface having a frequency bandwidth, and where the relay is served by a donor access node over a second air interface on which the donor access node provides service. Per the disclosure, an entity detects that load on the second air interface on which the donor access node provides service is threshold high, and in response to at least that detecting, the relay is made to reduce the coverage footprint of the relay and/or to reduce the frequency bandwidth of the first air interface on which the relay provides service.
