The received neighboring cell information message includes source-indicating data that indicates a source base station and indicates cell identification information of a respective cell of the source base station; neighboring cell information that includes received identification information of one or more neighbor cells adjacent to the respective cell of the source base station; and sender-indicating data that indicates a sender of the neighboring cell information message. The base station also includes a controller adapted to (1) analyze the received identification information to detect any instance in which the stored identification information of the cell of the base station is present more than one time in the received identification information; and (2) in response to detecting the instance, to carry out an update function of the stored identification information using the received identification information. The sender-indicating data of the received neighboring cell information message indicates a sender other than the source base station. | 2013-12-19 |
20130337795 | COMMUNICATION OF DATA USING INDEPENDENT DOWNLINK AND UPLINK CONNECTIONS - In communication of data between a first base station and a mobile terminal, a second base station may handle uplink transmissions from the mobile terminal. For this purpose, the first base station sends, to the second base station, a request to handle the uplink transmissions from the mobile terminal. Further, the first base station sends carrier information to the second base station. The carrier information indicates one or more uplink carriers for receiving the uplink transmissions. The one or more uplink carriers are controlled by the second base station. Moreover, the first base station sends downlink transmissions to the mobile terminal. The downlink transmissions include configuration data. By means of the configuration data, the mobile terminal is configured to send uplink transmissions on the one or more uplink carriers as indicated by the carrier information, e.g., on an uplink payload channel controlled by the second base station. | 2013-12-19 |
