Wireless base station, wireless network controller, and automatic networking method

A wireless network controller for controlling a wireless base station, comprising:

• an installation information receiver configured to receive, from an existing wireless base station, installation information transmitted by means of wireless communication to the existing wireless base station from the wireless base station which is to be incorporated into a wireless communication network via a public network, the installation information indicating that the wireless base station is being installed;
• and
• a connection information transmitter configured to transmit, in response to reception of the installation information, connection information for connecting to the wireless network controller via the public network, to the wireless base station via the existing wireless base station.

An automatic networking method for a wireless base station which is to be incorporated into a wireless communication network via a public network, comprising:

• transmitting, by means of wireless communication with an existing wireless base station, installation information indicating that the wireless base station is being installed, to a wireless network controller which controls the existing wireless base station;
• and
• receiving, by means of wireless communication with the existing wireless base station, connection information for connecting to the wireless network controller via the public network, from the wireless network controller.

An automatic networking method for a wireless network controller which allows a wireless base station to be incorporated into a wireless communication network via a public network, comprising:

• receiving, from an existing wireless base station, installation information transmitted by means of wireless communication from the wireless base station to the existing wireless base station and indicating that the wireless base station is being installed;
• and
• transmitting, in response to reception of the installation information, connection information for connecting to the wireless network controller via the public network, to the wireless base station via the existing wireless base station.

A wireless base station to be incorporated into a wireless communication network via a public network, comprising:

• an installation information transmitter configured to transmit installation information indicating that the wireless base station is being installed, to a gateway which interconnects the public network and an existing wireless base station via a carrier network into which the existing wireless base station is incorporated;
• and
