Problems solved by technology

However, whenever a new base station is added to or removed from the RAN, these traditional systems require the operator to manually reconfigure all affected base stations, which becomes particularly cumbersome, making acquisition uneconomical and less uniform , especially if ephemeral base stations are used in the network

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The presently disclosed methods and apparatus enable neighbor discovery (ND) of base stations in a communication system, more particularly automatic neighbor discovery performed by base stations by means of access terminals. That is, an access terminal that detects wirelessly broadcast identification information from a base station may communicate such information to other base stations to assist the base station in the ND. Once ND is performed, the base station may update the base station's network (eg, RAN) to exchange information between neighboring base stations via any one or more means such as a gateway / network to achieve full operational capability. Manual configuration of newly added (or removed) base stations can be eliminated by using identification information (eg, pilot ID) that has been normally detected by the access terminal and reported to the base station during handover.

Abstract

An automated neighbor discovery by a base station with the assistance of an access terminal are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving a first message from an access terminal based on detecting an identification signal by the access terminal from the first base station in a communication system. Determination whether the first base station is a known base station is then made. If the first base station is not known, a second message is transmitted to the access terminal requesting a network identification of the first base station. A third message from the access terminal is received in response to the second message including the requested network identification. A request for identification data is sent by the second base station to the first base station via a network link based on the network identification. Corresponding apparatus and other exemplary methods are also disclosed.

Description
