Method and system for neighbor reporting in a mobile communication network

摘要

A method, neighbor relation maintenance device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for neighbor reporting in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method comprises categorizing, by a neighbor relation maintenance device, a plurality of Mobile Stations (MSs) into one or more groups. A primary neighbor BS for each group of the one or more groups of MSs is determined. Each MS of each group is instructed to report signal strength measurements between the each MS and the corresponding primary neighbor BS associated with the each group in a first time period. Each MS of each group is instructed to report signal strength measurements between the each MS and each neighbor BS in a predefined neighbor list associated with the each MS in a second time period.

1. A method for neighbor reporting in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
categorizing, by a neighbor relation maintenance device, a plurality of mobile stations into one or more groups of mobile stations, wherein the plurality of mobile stations are associated with a serving base station; determining, by the neighbor relation maintenance device, a single primary neighbor base station for each of the one or more groups of mobile stations; instructing, by the neighbor relation maintenance device, the plurality of mobile stations in the one or more groups of mobile stations to report signal strength measurements between the plurality of mobile stations in the one or more groups of mobile stations and the corresponding single primary neighbor base station associated with the one or more groups of mobile stations in a first time period; and instructing, by the neighbor relation maintenance device, the plurality of mobile stations in the one or more groups of mobile stations to report signal strength measurements between each of the plurality of mobile stations in the one or more groups of mobile stations and the corresponding single primary neighbor base station in a predefined neighbor list associated with the plurality of mobile stations in a second time period, wherein the predefined neighbor list associated with the plurality of mobile stations includes one or more neighbor base stations accessible by the plurality of mobile stations.
