Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing wireless access to a radio access network for a user equipment (UE) obtains, at a server (), a plurality UE upload cell messages from a plurality UEs () served by different cells (). Each UE upload cell message includes cell specific data and corresponding UE specific data for a specific cell. The method and apparatus aggregate network cell data based at least on the cell specific data and the corresponding UE specific data (). For example, the method and apparatus may aggregate the cell specific data and the corresponding UE specific data for each serving cell, such that the observances by the UEs are grouped together according to each serving cell. A UE may then receive cell information that is based on the aggregated network cell data () to, for example, re-order a scan list or cell roaming list, or bias a cell measurement.
