Method and apparatus for base station self-configuration
Disclosed is method and apparatus for operating a wireless network, the wireless network including a first eNB and a second eNB, including establishing an X2 interface between the first eNB and the second eNB and exchanging parameters between the first eNB and the second eNB via the X2 interface.
1. An eNB comprising:
a processor; and
an X2 interface;
wherein the processor and the X2 interface are configured to exchange parameters with another eNB, the parameters including an indication of a number of cells served by the another eNB, cell identities of the cells served by the another eNB, frequency information of the cells served by the another eNB, and bandwidth information of the cells served by the another eNB.
2. The eNB of claim 1 wherein the exchanged parameters further include eNB measurement information.
3. The eNB of claim 1 wherein the exchanged parameters further include eNB group information.
4. The eNB of claim 1 wherein the exchanged parameters further include PLMN information.
5. The eNB of claim 1 wherein the exchanged parameters further include radio parameters for cells served by the another eNB.
6. The eNB of claim 1 wherein the exchanged parameters further include MBMS SFN parameters.
7. A method for operating a wireless network, the wireless network including a first eNB and a second eNB, the method comprising:
establishing an X2 interface between the first eNB and the second eNB; and
exchanging parameters between the first eNB and the second eNB via the X2 interface, wherein the parameters include an indication of a number of cells served by the second eNB, cell identities of the cells served by the second eNB, frequency information of the cells served by the second eNB, and bandwidth information of the cells served by the second eNB.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein the exchanged parameters further include eNB measurement information.
9. The method of claim 7 wherein the exchanged parameters further include eNB group information.
10. The method of claim 7 wherein the exchanged parameters further include PLMN information.
11. The method of claim 7 wherein the exchanged parameters further include radio parameters for cells served by the second eNB.
12. The method of claim 7 wherein the exchanged parameters further include MBMS SFN parameters.
