Abstract
Disclosed is a method of operation for use in a radio communications system comprising a cellular network of base stations and mobile units linked to the base stations. The method comprises detecting that a base station has become isolated from the system, wherein the isolated base station has lost at least one link to other base stations but is still in radio communication with its mobile units and changing an output power level of said isolated base station relative to an output power level of one or more selected co-channel base stations of neighboring cells of the cellular system, whereby the range of communications provided by said isolated base station is changed to a different finite value relative to that provided by the said co-channel base stations.
