Abstract:
1. A method of developing a list of neighbor cells for a base station of a mobile communication network, via a computer, comprising steps of: processing location data identifying location of one base station of the mobile communication network for which the list of neighbor cells is to be developed and locations of other base stations of the mobile communication network within a predetermined distance from the one base station, to determine distance between the one base station and each respective one of the other base stations, wherein data is received from a database including identification data and the location data in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) type mobile communication network under a situation in which collection of traffic data of different user equipment in the LTE type mobile communication network is not able to be accomplished; ordering the identification data for the other base stations based on the determined distances between the one base station and the other base stations; and compiling the list of neighbor cells for the one base station for a selected plurality of nearest ones of the other base stations, from the ordered identification data.
