Patent ID: 8264986

Claim:
In a wireless communication network including a first wireless communication system having a plurality of first base stations and a second wireless communication system having a plurality of second base stations of a collation relationship with the plurality of first base stations in the first wireless communication system, a method of automatically generating a neighbor list for the second wireless communication system on the basis of a neighbor list for the first wireless communication system, wherein base station identifiers to the first base stations in the first wireless communication system and base station identifiers to the second base stations in the second wireless communication system are generated and applied thereto according respective predetermined rules so that a predetermined specific number of ones of the base station identifiers in each system are repetitively applied to plural ones of the base stations, linking between the first and second base stations is carried out by collating positional information of a plurality of the first base stations included in the neighbor list of the first wireless communication system with positional information of the plurality of second base stations, the base station identifiers of the neighbor list of the first wireless communication system are converted to base station identifiers of the second wireless communication system on the basis of a linked result to generate the neighbor list of the second wireless communication system.
