BASE STATION FOR MANAGING NEIGHBORING STATE OF CELLS AND CELL OPERATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device which allow a simple and distributed method of determination of neighboring cells in a distributed wireless cellular network or in a wireless cellular network, wherein the number of or the location of base stations evolve by a significant amount.

SOLUTION: In order to determine if a first cell managed by a first base station is neighbor of a second cell managed by a second base station, the wireless cellular network includes a telecommunications 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 telecommunications network and determines, if the second cell managed by the second base station is a neighbor 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 telecommunications network.
