Abstract
Disclosed is method and apparatus for operation of a base station in wireless communications, including self-configuration of the base station for secure and authenticated communications with other base stations.
Claims12
An evolved NodeB (eNodeB) comprising:
- a processor configured in response to the eNodeB being initially powered on to initiate a self configuration process;
- wherein the processor is further configured in the self configuration process to authenticate with a network, to request configuration parameters from the network and in response to the request for configuration parameters, to receive a response including configuration parameters;
- wherein the processor is further configured to send another eNodeB a request for second parameters and in response to the request for second parameters, to receive a response including the second parameters.
An method for self configuration by an evolved NodeB (eNodeB) comprising:
- in response to the eNodeB being initially powered on, initiating a self configuration process by the eNodeB;
- authenticating the eNodeB with a network;
- requesting by the eNodeB configuration parameters from the network;
- in response to the request for configuration parameters, receiving by the eNodeB a response including configuration parameters;
- sending by the eNodeB another eNodeB a request for second parameters;
- and
- in response to the request for second parameters, receiving by the eNodeB a response including the second parameters.
