First Claim
1. A method of operation of a cellular communications network comprising a plurality of basestations, wherein each basestation of the cellular communications network is connected to a local area network, the method comprising in each basestation:
- receiving a table containing information about each of the other basestations, wherein the step of receiving the table comprises receiving the table over the local area network from one of the other basestations, and wherein the table contains information for use by the basestation in automatically configuring itself; and
in the event that the basestation changes its configuration;
updating said table with changed information and rebroadcasting the updated table to the other basestations.

Abstract
A basestation receives a table containing information about a plurality of other basestations of the cellular communications network. The basestation and the plurality of other basestations are connected to a local area network. The operation of receiving the table includes receiving the table over the local area network from one of the other basestations. The table contains information for use by the basestation in automatically configuring itself. In the event that the basestation changes its configuration, the basestation updates said table with changed information and rebroadcasts the updated table to the other basestations.

10. A method of operation of a cellular communications network comprising a plurality of basestations, wherein each basestation of the cellular communications network is connected to a local area network, the method comprising in each basestation:
-
when the basestation is powered up, receiving a table containing information about each of the other basestations, wherein the step of receiving the table comprises receiving the table over the local area network from one of the other basestations, and automatically configuring itself based on information contained in the table; and thereafter, when the basestation receives an updated table with changed information about at least one of the other basestations, automatically reconfiguring itself based on the changed information contained in the updated table. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
