Abstract
A method and an apparatus for obtaining information from a target base station are disclosed. The method includes: when a source base station needs to obtain information from a target base station, receiving, through an air interface, a system message in a certain format broadcast by the target base station; and parsing the system message, and obtaining required information. Through the present invention, an LTE base station can communicate with another LTE base station or with a heterogeneous base station directly through an air interface, thereby increasing the efficiency of communication between base stations.
