Abstract
An automatic management entity is included in a Hybrid Mobile Network Operator's system. The automatic management entity operates in conjunction with an Operations Support System (OSS) to automatically identify cells within the HMNO's own mobile wireless network to be removed from service due to poor performance, low throughput, or for other reasons, and initiates the un-management process. By automating the process timely identification of cells to be removed from service and removal of cells from service can be implemented quickly without human involvement. The automatic management entity takes into consideration the availability of alternative wireless coverage and impact to quality of service to the HMNO subscriber, e.g., user experience, when making a decision as to whether or not to take a cell with poor performance out of service. The automatic management entity prioritizes the desired repair order and communicates service priority information to the OSS along with the unmanage list.
