Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer programs that communicate with a User Equipment (UE) device that is simultaneously using a first wireless communication protocol and a second wireless communication protocol; determine the UE device is proximate to a neighbor cell; determine the neighbor cell is absent from a neighbor relations table; cause the UE device to cease simultaneously using the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol; cause the UE device to only use the first wireless communication protocol; receive information while the UE device is only using the first wireless communication protocol; and use the information to add the neighbor cell to the neighbor relations table.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- communicating with a User Equipment (UE) device that is simultaneously using a first wireless communication protocol and a second wireless communication protocol;
- determining the UE device is proximate to a neighbor cell;
- determining the neighbor cell is absent from a neighbor relations table;
- based at least on determining the neighbor cell is absent from the neighbor relations table, causing the UE device to cease simultaneously using the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol so as to use the first wireless communication protocol and not the second wireless communication protocol;
- receiving information while the UE device is using the first wireless communication protocol and not the second wireless communication protocol;
- and
- using the information to add the neighbor cell to the neighbor relations table.
A method, comprising:
- communicating with a User Equipment (UE) device that is using a first wireless communication protocol;
- determining the UE device is proximate to a neighbor cell;
- determining the neighbor cell is absent from a neighbor relations table;
- based at least on determining the neighbor cell is absent from the neighbor relations table, causing the UE device to stop using the first wireless communication protocol, by releasing a connection with a cell using the first wireless communication protocol, and start using a second wireless communication protocol;
- receiving information while the UE device is using the second wireless communication protocol and not the first wireless communication protocol;
- and
- using the information to add the neighbor cell to the neighbor relations table.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing computer readable program code or instructions for carrying out operations, when executed by a processor, for adding a neighbor cell to a neighbor relations table, the operations comprising:
- communicating with a User Equipment (UE) device that is simultaneously using a first wireless communication protocol and a second wireless communication protocol;
- determining the UE device is proximate to a neighbor cell;
- determining the neighbor cell is absent from a neighbor relations table;
- based at least on determining the neighbor cell is absent from the neighbor relations table, causing the UE device to cease simultaneously using the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol so as to use the first wireless communication protocol and not the second wireless communication protocol;
- receiving information while the UE device is using the first wireless communication protocol and not the second wireless communication protocol;
- and
- using the information to add the neighbor cell to the neighbor relations table.
