Abstract:
1. A neighbor list control system for wireless communication system comprising: a communication interface configured to receive a first neighbor list for a first base station, a second neighbor list for a second base station, a third neighbor list for a third base station, and wireless coverage data for the second base station and the third base station; a processing system configured to process the first neighbor list to identify a second base station and a third base station on the first neighbor list, process the second neighbor list and the third neighbor list to determine if the second base station is on the third neighbor list and if the third base station is on the second neighbor list, process the wireless coverage data to determine if a wireless coverage overlap exists between the second base station and the third base station; and if a wireless coverage overlap exists between the second base station and the third base station and if the second base station is not on the third neighbor list, then the processing system is configured to indicate that the second base station should be added to the third neighbor list, and if the wireless coverage overlap exists between the second base station and the third base station and if the third base station is not on the second neighbor list, then the processing system is configured to indicate that the third base station should be added to the second neighbor list.
