ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for adapting a communications network of a plurality of wireless access nodes, such as base stations to a changing environment. The method comprises determining a current location of at least a first user in the communications network, identifying a need for change in at least one parameter associated with a position of a first base station of the plurality of base stations based on the current location of the first user, and implementing a first response in the communications network in response to the need for change for the first base station. In this way, a self-deploying wireless access network may autonomously reposition base stations in a changing environment of user distributions across a coverage area and/or user demand by users of wireless communication devices, such as mobile units. Using indirect communication between the base stations capable of operating with different standards or protocols, a distributed algorithm may adapt the network to the changing environment. Such adaptation of the network in a distributed manner may control overall network costs of providing wireless services to mobile users.
