Summary: | The invention refers to a method for operating a femto-cell base station (10), the femto-cell base station being configured to provide coverage to a User Equipment (50) by connecting it to a core telecommunications network (30) using a first frequency belonging to a first radio access technology (RAT1), the femto-cell base station having a fixed network interface for establishing a fixed network connection (11) to said core telecommunications network (30), and a wireless network interface for establishing a cellular wireless network connection (12) to said core telecommunications network; the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting that said fixed network connection (11) is not operative; and, in response to such failure:
- scanning frequencies in a second radio access technology (RAT2) available to the wireless network interface, said second radio access technology (RAT2) being different to the first radio access technology (RAT1); and
- if there is any frequency available in said second radio access technology (RAT2), establishing said frequency in said second radio access technology as the operational frequency of the cellular wireless network connection (12);
- and if there is no frequency available in said second radio access technology (RAT2), disconnecting the femto-cell base station from the User Equipment and assigning the first frequency in the first radio access technology (RAT1) to the cellular wireless network connection (12). |
