Abstract

Systems and methods provide automated generation of neighbor frequency lists for configuration of frequency objects for wireless stations. A computing device selects a target sector carrier of a wireless station of multiple wireless stations in a radio access network and identifies, based on distances from the wireless station, neighboring sector carriers of the target sector carrier. The computing device filters the neighboring sector carriers based on an azimuth of the target sector carrier to form a filtered set of neighboring sector carriers. The computing device calculates a probability of neighboring frequencies for the target sector carrier based on locations of the filtered set of neighboring sector carriers and generates, based on the calculating, a neighbor frequency list for the target sector carrier. The neighbor frequency list is used to configure frequency objects, for the target sector carrier, that ensure seamless handovers within the radio access network.
