Abstract
The present invention aims to reduce the cost of planning and maintaining neighbor cell sets by requiring mobile terminals to make an additional effort to identify uniquely neighboring cells in the radio network. decided.
Claims12
A method in a node serving a first communications cell in a wireless telecommunications system which comprises a plurality of communications cells, the method comprising:
- communicating with a mobile terminal operating in the first communications cell;
- requesting the mobile terminal to retrieve a unique cell identity of a second communications cell, the second communications cell being a communications cell in which the unique cell identity and a non-unique cell identity of the second communications cell are transmitted, wherein the unique cell identity is a network layer identity and the non-unique cell identity is a physical layer identity;
- receiving the unique cell identity of the second communications cell from the mobile terminal;
- and,
- mapping the unique cell identity of the second communications cell to a network address of a realizing node of the second communications cell.

A node for serving a first communications cell in a wireless telecommunications network, the wireless telecommunications network defining a plurality of communications cells, the node comprising resources operable to:
- communicate with a mobile terminal operating in the first communications cell;
- request the mobile terminal to retrieve a unique cell identity of a second communications cell, the second communications cell being a communications cell in which the unique cell identity and a non-unique cell identity of the second communications cell are transmitted, wherein the unique cell identity is a network layer identity and the non-unique cell identity is physical layer identity;
- receive from the mobile terminal the unique cell identity of the second communications cell;
- and,
- mapping the unique cell identity of the second communications cell to a network address of a realizing node of the second communications cell.
