NEIGHBOUR CELL RELATION
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving roaming relation information from a network operator system;
receiving an identification report from user equipment wherein said identification report includes one or more parameters relating to one or more neighbouring cells;
categorising said one or more neighbouring cells based on said one or more parameters and said roaming relation information; and
generating a neighbour cell list based on said categorised one or more neighbouring cells.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for improved neighbour cell relation, in particular in multi mobile network operator environments. A network entity (104) may receive roaming relation information from a network operator system (107). The network entity (104) may also receive an identification report from user equipment (106) wherein the identification report may include one or more parameters relating to one or more neighbouring cells (103). The network entity (104) may categorise the one or more neighbouring cells (103) based on the one or more parameters and the roaming relation information. The network entity (104) may further generate a neighbour cell list based on the categorised one or more neighbouring cells.
