Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patented method is that it allows for easy maintenance and update of a large number of cells with different types of base stations (H(e))Bs). It also includes automatic initialization of neighbor lists based on these base stations' neighbors.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is how to efficiently establish and maintain accurate neighbor lists between H(e)NBs within a network, particularly in a femto/home network environment. Current methods require manual intervention and extensive planning, leading to increased costs and delays.

Embodiment Construction

[0048]FIG. 3 shows a wireless communications network having femtocells as part of a macro network run by a mobile network operator (MNO). The femtocells may be part of an enterprise, for example, which subscribes to the macro network and each femtocell has an access point provided by a home node B (HNB) HNB1, HNB2, HNB3. In the following exemplary embodiments, three HNBs are shown although there may be more or fewer in such a network. A mobile subscriber station or user equipment (UE) UE1 may access the network via one of the HNBs HNB1, HNB2, HNB3.

[0049]Each of the HNBs are coupled over an interface to a home node B gateway (HNB-GW) 10, which is a control node for controlling the HNBs. The HNBs are also coupled to a Home Node B Management Server (HMS) (not shown). Together the HNB-GW and HMS take part in performing operation and maintenance (O&M) functions.

[0050]Each HNB HNB1, HNB2, HNB3 has a transmitter T1, a receiver R1, a detector 11 and a comparator C, as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 5 s

Abstract

A method of establishing a relationship between access nodes in a wireless communications network is provided. An access node is registered with the network. Information about each access node registered with the network is then stored at a control node. A list is then compiled at the control node, which includes each access node registered with the network and the list indicates which access node is a neighbour of another access node. This neighbour list is sent from the control node to each access node in the network. When an access node detects other access nodes, this is reported to the control node, which updates the neighbour list to the access nodes.
