Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly encoded with instructions, that when executed by a processor of the device, perform a method comprising:
receiving, by the device, a request from user equipment (UE) for a service;
determining, by the device, based at least on the request, a differentiated neighbor list, the differentiated neighbor list corresponding to a type of service provided by the device over a network, the differentiated neighbor list comprising attribute information for a set of sites;
analyzing, by the device, the attribute information for the set of sites, and identifying a site from the set of sites that provides a requisite attribute for the type of service of the UE;
establishing, via the device, a network connection for the UE with a base station associated with the identified site;
receiving, by the device, identifying information for an unknown base station on the network;
identifying, by the device, network interface configuration data for the unknown base station based on the identifying information;
performing, by the device, a network interface setup of the unknown base station based on the network interface configuration data;
updating, by the device, the differentiated neighbor list for the UE to include information related to the unknown base station after performing the network interface setup, the updating causing the unknown base station to become a defined base station; and
handing over, by the device, based on the updated differentiated neighbor list, the network connection for the UE from the base station associated with the identified site to the defined base station.
