1. An eNodeB comprising:

  • a memory;

    at least one processor; and

    software, included in the memory and executed by the at least one processor, configured to;

    identify a cell outage of a neighboring cell;

    reconfigure a cell provided by the eNodeB to compensate for the neighboring cell responsive to identification of the cell outage of the neighboring cell;

    modify a cell compensation status state for the cell provided by the eNodeB to cOCCompensating to indicate that the cell is compensating for the neighboring cell; and

    generate a notification to a management entity to indicate that the cell compensation status state has changed,wherein the cell compensation status state is indicated in the notification in a cOCStatus attribute of an Information Object Class (IOC), the cOCStatus attribute indicating a cell compensation status state selected from the cOCCompensating state, a cOCActivating state to indicate that cell outage compensation was starting to compensate for the cell, a cOCActive state to indicate that the cell is being compensated for, a cOCDeactivating state to indicate that activities to remove the compensation of the cell are complete, and a cOCDeactive state to indicate a default state of no compensation for the cell.
