It is provided a method for configuring a first radio network node to join a system area of a mobile network, each system area being served by one or more radio network nodes configured to collaborate in user data transmissions. The method is performed in a configuration device and comprises the steps of: obtaining system area data, using the first radio network node, relating to at least one system area of a second radio network node; selecting a system area for the first radio network node to join based on the system area data; and triggering the first radio network node to join the selected system area.

Allocation of a 5G radio base station to a group of radio base stations cooperating to constitute a system area

A radio base station and a method therein for management of neighbor relations with respect to neighboring radio base stations are provided. The radio base station is connected to an Operation and Maintenance, O&M system requesting performance measurement data relating to the neighbor relations from the radio base station. The radio base stationis configured to associate each neighbor relation with a predefined first or a predefined second neighbor relation type, wherein the first neighbor relation type indicates that the neighbor relation is to be monitored and the second neighbor relation type indicates that the neighbor relation is to be unmonitored. The base station is further configured to collect performance measurement data relating to mobility for neighbor relations associated with the first neighbor relation type, and to send the collected performance measurement data only for neighbor relations associated with the first neighbor relation type to the O&M system.

Neighbour relations management

Method and apparatus are provided to reduce the amount of performance indicator (PI) data to retrieve from a network node (). The performance indicator (PI) data to be retrieved may depend on the reporting mode of the node, as well as the configured reporting scope of the current reporting mode. The set of available reporting modes may depend of the node type. Moreover, the current reporting mode may depend on the time of day, week, etc., the amount of served subscribers, traffic volume, etc., over a time window, whether a specific fault has occurred, etc.
