Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method in a cellular communications network, and apparatus for performing the method, the method including analyzing block error rate data to determine a number of block error rate events, the block error rate data relating to a connection between a User Equipment (UE) and a first base station in a cellular communications network and the block error rate event being an instance of the block error rate exceeding a first threshold value; determining whether the number of block error rate events in a predetermined time period exceeds a second threshold value; and, if so, performing a physical cell identifier conflict resolution operation

Abstract: This invention relates to a method in a cellular communications network having a plurality of base stations, and to a base station for said cellular communications network, wherein each base station is configured to use a frequency band of one of a hierarchy of spectrum levels, the method comprising: a first base station using a frequency band of a first spectrum level of the hierarchy of spectrum levels; determining an interference level in the network; determining whether the interference level indicates that the first base station's performance is sub-optimal; and, if so, the first base station reconfiguring to use a frequency band of a second spectrum level of the hierarchy of spectrum levels, the second spectrum level having a different number of frequency bands than the first spectrum level.

Abstract: The disclosure includes a method in a cellular communications network, and a User Equipment, basestation and network management entity for implementing the method, the method comprising: a first basestation transmitting a first message including a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG) identifier; determining, for a User Equipment (UE) whether the CSG identifier is present on a first allowed CSG list; determining the allowed service level for the UE, the allowed service level indicating one of at least a first and second allowed service level; and connecting the UE to the first basestation if the CSG identifier is present on the first allowed CSG list, wherein the Quality of Service (QoS) for the UE is dependent on the allowed service level.
