BASE STATION, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING BASE STATION, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM THEREFOR

摘要

A base station includes a memory that stores identification information of a cell of the base station and identification information of one or more neighboring cells. The base station also includes a receiver that receives a neighboring cell information message. The received neighboring cell information message includes source-indicating data that indicates a source base station and indicates cell identification information of a respective cell of the source base station; neighboring cell information that includes received identification information of one or more neighbor cells adjacent to the respective cell of the source base station; and sender-indicating data that indicates a sender of the neighboring cell information message. The base station also includes a controller adapted to (1) analyze the received identification information to detect any instance in which the stored identification information of the cell of the base station is present more than one time in the received identification information; and (2) in response to detecting the instance, to carry out an update function of the stored identification information using the received identification information. The sender-indicating data of the received neighboring cell information message indicates a sender other than the source base station.
