Abstract
A method for parameter management in a wireless cellular communications system, which includes a first base station and a second base station equipped for communications in the communications system, records one or more paging area parameters broadcast by a base station serving a neighbor cell of a cell served by the first base station. The paging area parameters form part of a relation of the first base station and are maintained by the first base station. The method further includes transferring the recorded paging area parameters from the first base station to the second base station.
Claims16
A method for parameter management in a wireless cellular communications system comprising a first base station and a second base station equipped for communications in the communications system, the method comprising:
- recording, by the first base station, one or more paging area parameters of a neighbor cell of a cell served by the first base station, and
- transferring, by the first base station, the one or more recorded paging area parameters from the first base station to the second base station;
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters comprise one or more tracking area codes (TACs);
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters are maintained on a basis per cell or per base station;
- wherein a cell or a base station identity is part of the one or more paging area parameters and is broadcast with a higher repetition frequency than another part of the one or more paging area parameters.
A base station for parameter management in a wireless cellular communications system, the base station being equipped for communications in one or more cells of the cellular communications system, the base station:
- storage circuitry configured to maintain a record of one or more paging area parameters of a neighbor cell of a cell served by the base station,
- interface logic configured to facilitate paging area parameter transfer to a second base station, and
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters comprise one or more tracking area codes (TACs);
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters are maintained on a basis per cell or per base station;
- wherein a cell or a base station identity is part of the one or more paging area parameters and is broadcast with a higher repetition frequency than another part of the one or more paging area parameters.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing program code there on for use by a base station for parameter management, the program code comprising instructions for executing a method that comprises:
- recording and one or more paging area parameters of a neighbor cell of a cell served by the base station, and
- transferring the one or more recorded paging area parameters from the base station to a second base station;
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters are one or more tracking area codes (TACs);
- wherein the one or more paging area parameters are maintained on a basis per cell or per base station;
- wherein a cell or a base station identity is part of the one or more paging area parameters and is broadcast with a higher repetition frequency than another part of the one or more paging area parameters.
