First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented by an evolved Node B (eNB), comprising:
- sending, from the eNB, a first message to establish a connection to a first node;
sending, by the eNB to the first node, a further message for verification of the eNB using a location of the eNB;
receiving by the eNB from the first node after verification, a second message including parameters associated with a second node to establish a connection with the second node;
establishing, by the eNB, the connection with the second node using the parameters included in the second message; and
acquiring, by the eNB from the second node, one or more operating parameters;
to auto-configure the eNB for communication with one or more network entities.

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.

10. An evolved Node B (eNB) comprising:
-
a transmit/receive unit including circuitry and configured to; send a first message to establish a connection to a first node, send a further message to the first node for verification of the eNB using a location of the eNB, and receive, from the first node after verification, a second message including parameters associated with a second node to establish a connection with the second node; and a processor including circuitry, 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 acquire, from the second node, one or more operating parameters to auto-configure the eNB for communication with one or more network entities. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
