System and method for automatically configuring and integrating a radio base station into an existing wireless cellular communication network with full bi-directional roaming and handover capability
First Claim
1. A communications system comprising:
- a radio base station for a wireless communication network, configured for connection to a central base station controller device, configured for collection of information about other surrounding base stations through its radio receiver and, based on the collected information and other carrier-specific requirements, configured to automatically integrate into the network with the aid of a central configuration device.

Abstract
A radio base station in a mobile communication network collects information about the network and exchanges data with a configuration device, the Internet System Manager (iSM). The iSM automatically configures and integrates the base station into the network by defining configuration parameter settings that allow fill interoperation of the base station with the network, with regards to roaming and handover in particular, without the need to add or modify parameter settings in other existing network elements. A very large number and high geographical density of such base stations is supported with full interoperation between them, allowing to overcome limitations of conventional mobile communication networks in this regard, by utilizing a certain combination of parameter settings and a new method to address the different base stations in the network.
