METHOD FOR DETERMINING IF A FIRST CELL MANAGED BY A FIRST BASE STATION IS NEIGHBOUR OF A SECOND CELL MANAGED BY A SECOND BASE STATION

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for determining if a first cell managed by a first base station is neighbour of a second cell managed by a second base station, the cells being cells of wireless cellular network, the wireless cellular network comprising a telecommunication network enabling the transfer of information between the base stations. The first base station monitors the amount of information transferred between the first base station and the second base station through the telecommunication network and determines if the second cell managed by the second base station is neighbour of the first cell managed by the first base station according to the amount of monitored information transferred between the first base station and the second base station through the telecommunication network. The invention concerns also the associated device.
