Claim 8:
9. A method performed by a management server in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first base station, a cell identifier and an operation frequency band of the first base station;
receiving, from at least one second base station connected to the management server, a cell identifier and an operation frequency band of the at least one second base station; and
transmitting, to the first base station, information on at least one neighbor cell for the first base station, at least one neighbor cell list included in the information on the at least one neighbor cell comprising the cell identifier and the operating frequency band of the at least one second base station,
wherein the operation frequency band of the first base station is identified from an available frequency band of a shared spectrum, the available frequency band including at least one frequency band which is accessible by the first base station with a priority,
wherein the operation frequency band is identified based on a frequency assignment mode of the first base station and a channel quality measured for each of the at least one frequency band,
wherein the frequency assignment mode of the first base station includes a first mode applying a weight value based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for reducing interference from other cell, a second mode applying a weight value based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for performing a handover without changing frequency band, and a third mode applying different weight values based on a combination ratio of the first mode and the second mode,
wherein, based on the first mode, the operation frequency band of the first base station is a frequency band with a lowest RSSI value,
wherein, based on the second mode, the operation frequency band of the first base station is a frequency band of a neighbor cell with a highest RSRP value in the at least one neighbor cell list,
wherein, based on the third mode, the operation frequency band of the first base station is a frequency band corresponding to a largest one of the RSSI value or the RSRP value multiplied by the different weight values based on the combination ratio,
wherein the at least one neighbor cell list is updated based on the information on the at least one neighbor cell, and
wherein a number of neighbor cells included in the updated at least one neighbor cell list is less than or equal to a threshold number.
