Abstract

An Access Point () serving a small cell () in a cellular communication system () uses the User Equipment intra-frequency Primary Scrambling Code detection mode to detect neighbors inter-frequency by switching its carrier frequency to a frequency on which it is desired to check for neighbors (for a period long enough and/or often enough for it UE to have a reasonable chance of detecting such a neighbor). Received measurements on such neighbor cells () may be used to compile a neighbor cell list if no such list has been preconfigured in the Access Point or if network listen results have provided only a limited number of detected neighbor cells.
