First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for a communications network, the method comprising:
- establishing a proxy base station configured to emulate being an actual base station in the network, the proxy base station established by;
analyzing current network parameters;
determining parameters for the proxy base station based on the analyzed network parameters, the parameters including geographical coordinates representing an artificial location of the proxy base station; and
transmitting the determined parameters for the proxy base station to a first actual base station of the network,receiving, by the proxy base station over an X2 interface, network information that is unavailable to a central SON controller at a time that the network information is received, andproviding the network information to the central SON controller,wherein the proxy base station is a virtual base station, and the actual base station of the network perceives the proxy base station to be another actual base station.

13. A communications system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; and a computer readable medium with non-transitory computer-readable instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by the processor, perform the following operations; establishing a proxy eNodeB configured to emulate being an actual eNodeB in the network, the proxy eNodeB established by; analyzing current network parameters; determining parameters for the proxy eNodeB based on the analyzed network parameters, the parameters including geographical coordinates representing an artificial location of the proxy eNodeB; and transmitting the determined parameters for the proxy eNodeB to an actual base station of the network, receiving, by the eNodeB over an X2 interface, network information that is unavailable to a central SON controller at a time that the network information is received, and providing the network information to the central SON controller, wherein the proxy eNodeB is a virtual base station, and the actual base station of the network perceives the proxy eNodeB to be another actual eNodeB, and wherein the processor is included in a server that controls a plurality of proxy eNodeBs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, perform the following method:
-
establishing a proxy base station configured to emulate being an actual base station in the network, the proxy base station established by; analyzing current network parameters; determining parameters for the proxy base station based on the analyzed network parameters, the parameters including geographical coordinates representing an artificial location of the proxy base station; and transmitting the determined parameters for the proxy base station to an actual base station of the network, receiving, by the proxy base station over an X2 interface, network information that is unavailable to a central SON controller at a time that the network information is received, and providing the network information to the central SON controller, wherein the proxy base station is a virtual base station, and the actual base station of the network perceives the proxy base station to be another actual base station.
