Patent Images
1. A method for self configuring an evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:
- sending, from the eNB, a first message to establish a connection to a first node;
receiving by the eNB from the first node, a second message including parameters associated with a second node;
establishing, by the eNB, a connection with the second node using the parameters included in the second message;
receiving, by the eNB, one or more operating parameters associated with one or more neighboring cells via the connection with the second node.

Abstract
The present invention is a procedure for a self configuring eNB/E-UTRAN. The eNB/E-UTRAN interacts with the Enhanced Packet Core (EPC) of the LTE network in order to complete the mutual authentication task between the eNB and the EPC and other operating procedures in the eNB self configuration phase.

4. An evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:
-
a transmit/receive unit configured to; send a first message to establish a connection to a first node; receive from the first node a second message including parameters associated with a second node; a processor, in communication with the transmit/receiver unit, and configured to establish a connection with the second node using the parameters included in the second message, wherein the transmit/receive unit is configured to receive one or more operating parameters associated with one or more neighboring cells via the connection with the second node.

7. A method for self configuring an evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:
-
sending, from the eNB, a first message to establish a connection to a first node; receiving by the eNB from the first node, a second message including one or more parameter associated with a second node to establish another connection with the second node; receiving, by the eNB, an operating parameter associated with a neighboring cell via the other connection with the second node; and performing, by the eNB, a handover to handover a WTRU to a neighboring eNB based on the operating parameter that is associated with the neighboring cell of the neighboring eNB and that was received via the connection with the second node. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. An evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:
-
a transmit/receive unit configured to; send a first message to establish a connection to a first node; receive from the first node a second message including one or more parameter associated with a second node to establish another connection with the second node; and receive an operating parameter associated with a neighboring cell via the other connection with the second node; and a processor, in communication with the transmit/receiver unit, and configured to perform a handover to handover a WTRU to a neighboring eNB based on the operating parameter that is associated with the neighboring cell of the neighboring eNB and that was received via the connection with the second node. - View Dependent Claims (10)
