Method and system for automatic neighbor relations in multi-vendor heterogeneous network

摘要

A method includes comparing a vendor of a base station of the source cell to a vendor of the a base station of the target cell, when the vendor of the base station of the source cell is different from the vendor of the base station of the target cell, determining a second cell identifier used by the vendor of the base station of the target cell to identify the target cell, comparing the second cell identifier to a first cell identifier used by a vendor of the source base station to identify the target cell, and replacing one of the first and second cell identifiers with the other of the first and second cell identifiers.

1. A method for improving performance of a heterogeneous cellular telecommunications network in which a Network Management System (NMS) is coupled to a first Element Management System and a second EMS, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the NMS, a vendor identity request for vendors of base stations managed by the first EMS to the first EMS; transmitting, by the NMS, a vendor identity request for vendors of base stations managed by the second EMS to the second EMS; receiving, by the NMS, a first vendor identity for a target base station from the first EMS; receiving, by the NMS, a second vendor identity for a source base station from the second EMS; comparing the first vendor identity to the second vendor identity; when the first vendor identity is different from the second vendor identity, comparing ,by the NMS, a first cell identifier of a target cell used by the target base station to a second cell identifier of the target cell used by the source base station; determining a discrepancy between the first cell identifier and the second cell identifier; and replacing one of the first and second cell identifiers with the other of the first and second cell identifiers to resolve the discrepancy.
