1. A method for configuring a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a first radio node, information identifying a second radio node in the network, wherein the second radio node is configured to communicate with the first radio node, wherein the first radio node has a communication session with a mobile device at a first time, wherein the second radio node has the communication session with the mobile device at a second time, and wherein the first radio node differs from the second radio node;
receiving, by the first radio node from the second radio node, information identifying one or more third radio nodes in the network that are within a communication range of the second radio node; and
initiating, by the first radio node, a handoff of the communication session with the mobile device, from the second radio node to one of the one or more third radio nodes, using the information received from the second radio node that identifies the one or more third radio nodes in the network that are within the communication range of the second radio node.

Abstract
A method for configuring a network is described, the method comprising: receiving, from a first radio node in the network, network information associated with one or more second radio nodes in the network; generating a network relation table, the network relation table comprising network information associated with the first radio node and the one or more second radio nodes; and performing a handoff to a third radio node in the network using the network relation table.

8. A system comprising:
-
a first radio node; and one or more machine-readable hardware storage devices storing instructions that are executable by the first radio node to perform operations comprising; receiving, by the first radio node, information identifying a second radio node in the network, wherein the second radio node is configured to communicate with the first radio node, wherein the first radio node has a communication session with a mobile device at a first time, wherein the second radio node has the communication session with the mobile device at a second time, and wherein the first radio node differs from the second radio node; receiving, by the first radio node from the second radio node, information identifying one or more third radio nodes in the network that are within a communication range of the second radio node; and initiating, by the first radio node, a handoff of the communication session with the mobile device, from the second radio node to one of the one or more third radio nodes, using the information received from the second radio node that identifies the one or more third radio nodes in the network that are within the communication range of the second radio node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
