Abstract: The invention relates to a method for uploading a transmission network topology of a radio system and to a radio system implementing the method. The radio system comprises at least one network element and a network management system managing the network elements. The network elements are operatively interconnected by a transmission network realized by means of transmission circuits. Information between the network elements is transmitted in frames that are divided into time slots. When a transmission circuit is changed then software of the network elements marks the changed transmission circuit as changed, and the network management system is informed of the changed circuit, whereafter the software of the network element removes the marking from the changed circuits.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for configuring cross-connections of a radio system, and to a radio system implementing the method. The radio system comprises network elements and a network management system managing the network elements. The network elements are operatively interconnected by means of a transmission network realized by transmission circuits. Information between the network elements is transmitted in frames that are divided into time slots. The radio system comprises at least one cross-connection unit between at least two network elements for realizing the cross-connections needed to establish the transmission circuits. The method comprises the following operations: uploading a transmission network topology of the radio system, and utilizing labeled transmission circuits in analyzing the fragmentation of the cross-connections, and optimizing the capacity by reconfiguring the cross-connections when fragmentation of the capacity exceeds an agreed percentage of the total capacity of a circuit.
