Passive collection of neighbor base station configuration information through handover messages is provided. In one embodiment, a base station comprises: a processor coupled to a memory, the base station coupled to a core network for a wireless network operator, the base station radiates downlink RF signals to at least one UE and receives uplink RF signals from the UE. The processor implements: a UE handover function that receives and processes a handover request message associated with a UE transferring to the cell from a neighboring cell; and a handover request parser that evaluates information elements in the handover request message to extract neighbor information. The handover request parser stores the extracted neighbor information as a set of neighbor information in the memory; and wherein the processor is configured to adjust operation of the base station based on the set of neighbor information stored in the memory.

Systems and methods for passive collection of neighbor base station configuration information through handover messages

A communication system for performing non-DRX-aware channel resource allocation is described. The communication system includes a plurality of radio points (RPs), each configured to exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with a plurality of user equipment (UEs) at a site. The communication system also includes a baseband controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of radio points. The baseband controller is configured to determine, for each RP communicating with a UE, available channel resources in each of a plurality of subframes. The baseband controller is also configured to determine a least-loaded subframe that has the most available channel resources. The baseband controller is also configured to assign an available channel resource in the least-loaded subframe to the UE.
