AUTO-DISCOVERY AND MANAGEMENT OF BASE STATION NEIGHBORS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining a local node configuration for a local network node, wherein the local network node configuration comprises a local range and a local location;
receiving via a communications link a remote network node configuration for a remote network node, wherein the remote network node configuration comprises a remote range and a remote location; and
generating a neighbor list comprising the remote network node and the local network node, wherein the neighbor list is determined using the local network node configuration and the remote network node configuration.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that include determining a local node configuration for a local network node. The local network node configuration can include a local range and a local location. In addition, these systems and methods can include receiving a remote network node configuration for a remote network node via a communications link. The remote network node configuration can include a remote range and a remote location. Also these systems and methods can further include generating a neighbor list that includes the remote network node and the local network node. The neighbor list can be determined using the local network node configuration and the remote network node configuration.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a first base station, wherein the first base station is capable of storing first identification information relating to the range of the first base station and the location of the first base station, and wherein the first base station is capable of communication with a first network; a second base station, wherein the second base station is capable of storing second identification information relating to the range of the second base station and the location of the second base station, and wherein the second base station is capable of communication with a second network; a server, wherein the first server is capable of communication with the first network and the second network, and wherein the server is capable of receiving the first and second identification information, creating a neighbor list based upon the first and the second identification information, and transmitting the neighbor list to the first base station and the second base station. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
