METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURING ADDRESSES AND/OR SECURITY DATA BETWEEN ENBS OF AN LTE ACCESS NETWORK, AND ASSOCIATED MME AND ENB

摘要

A method is intended for automatically configuring address(es) between eNBs (NBi) of an LTE access network. This method comprises i) transmitting a chosen message to at least one Mobility Management Entity (MME) of a core network connected to the LTE access network, this chosen message including at least one transport layer address of a first eNB (NB1) and/or authentication and/or security data of this first eNB (NB1) for connection to the latter, and ii) relaying within a downlink message an identifier of this first eNB (NB1) and the at least one transport layer address and/or the authentication and/or security data for the connection of this first eNB (NB1) to a set of at least one chosen eNB (NBi).
