ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for automatic generation of neighbor lists in a wireless network. A first message is received from an overlapped base station. The overlapped base station has a first coverage area, and the first message comprises a location of the overlapped base station. Responsive to receiving the first message, a set of overlapping base stations is identified based at least in part on the location of the overlapped base station. Each overlapping base station has (i) a coverage area that overlaps the first coverage area and (ii) a neighbor list that includes a neighbor set of one or more neighboring base stations of that overlapping base station. A first neighbor list is generated and sent to the overlapped base station. The first neighbor list comprises of the union of the set of overlapping base stations and the neighbor set of each overlapping base station.
