Abstract

The invention describes a method for handling of cell identities, performed by a first radio node of a wireless communication network providing radio coverage to a first cell. The first radio node is connected to at least one second radio node providing radio coverage to a second cell. The first cell has been assigned a first cell identity, and each of the second cells has been assigned an individual cell identity. The method comprises: determining that the first cell identity is the same as the cell identity assigned to one of the second cells; triggering change of cell identity for the first cell from the first cell identity to a second cell identity that is not used for any of the second cells, and sending, to the at least one second radio node, information on the change of cell identity from the first cell identity to the second cell identity.
