System for updating a neighbour cell list (NCL) of a wireless access node of a telecommunications architecture and method therefore
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for updating a neighbour cell list in a telecommunications architecture comprising a first wireless access network having a first wireless access node for which at least one first neighbour cell list is defined and a second wireless access network having a second wireless access node for which at least one second neighbour cell list is defined, the system comprising:
- a detector configured for detecting user terminals to be transferred from the first wireless access node of the first wireless access network to the second wireless access node of the second wireless access network;
a selector configured for selecting a part of the user terminals;
a request generator configured for requesting from the first wireless access node one or more of the selected user terminals to report cell information of a plurality of wireless access nodes of at least one of the first wireless access network and the second wireless access network;
a receiver configured for receiving the cell information from the one or more of the selected user terminals; and
updating means configured for updating at least one of the first neighbour cell list and the second neighbour cell list using the received cell information.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for updating a neighbour cell list of a wireless access node. User terminals to be to be transferred from a first wireless access node of a first wireless access network to a second wireless access node of a second wireless access network are detected. From the first wireless access node, one or more of the detected user terminals are requested to report cell information of a plurality of wireless access nodes of at least one of the first wireless access network and the second wireless access network. The cell information is received from the one or more of the detected user terminals and at least one of the first neighbour cell list and the second neighbour cell list is updated using the received cell information.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor in a telecommunications architecture comprising a first wireless access network having a first wireless access node for which at least one first neighbour cell list is defined and a second wireless access network having a second wireless access node for which at least one second neighbour cell list is defined, performs a method for updating at least one of the first and second neighbour cell lists, including the steps of:
-
detecting user terminals to be transferred from the first wireless access node of the first wireless access network to the second wireless access node of the second wireless access network; selecting a part of the user terminals; requesting from the first wireless access node one or more of the selected user terminals to report cell information of a plurality of wireless access nodes of at least one of the first wireless access network and the second wireless access network; receiving the cell information from the one or more of the selected user terminals; and updating at least one of the first neighbour cell list and the second neighbour cell list using the received cell information.
