A method of controlling base transceiver stations in a telecommunications system and a telecommunications system which comprises one or more base transceiver stations (BTS, BTS, BTS) and an object model representing elements of the telecommunications system, by means of which object model the elements are controlled. The object model comprises a cell object (CELL) which represents one or more base station objects (BTSO, BTSO, BTSO), and the telecommunications system is arranged to control the base station objects, represented by the cell object, via the cell object such that the operation performed on the cell object will be performed simultaneously in all base station objects, represented by the cell object, where said operation can be performed.

Base station control in telecommunications system

The present invention discloses a method and a system for reconfiguring a mobile telecommunications network. In the method network elements to be reconfigured are arranged into groups according to a grouping parameter. A priority value is assigned to the groups. The network elements are reconfigured by groups in an order indicated by the assigned priority value. For example cells in the mobile telecommunications network are reconfigured in an order indicated by the priority value so that the entire network is not updated concurrently. Typically the priority values are assigned so that adjacent cells do not share the same priority value thus existing connections can be handed over to adjacent cells so that the services do not have any breaks.
