Determining base station internet protocol address based on variable length base station identifier

A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:

• receiving a cell identifier associated with a neighboring base station;
• transmitting, to a domain name system (DNS) server, a query constructed based at least in part on reversing a set of bits in the cell identifier;
• and
• receiving, from the DNS server and based at least in part on the query, an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the neighboring base station.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a base station, cause the base station to:
• receive a cell identifier associated with a neighboring base station;
• transmit, to a domain name system (DNS) server, a query constructed based at least in part on reversing a set of bits in the cell identifier;
• and
• receive, from the DNS server and based at least in part on the query, an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the neighboring base station.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a cell identifier associated with a base station;
• means for transmitting, to a domain name system (DNS) server, a query constructed based at least in part on reversing a set of bits in the cell identifier;
• and
• means for receiving, from the DNS server and based at least in part on the query, an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the base station.
