Abstract
A method of establishing a relationship between access nodes in a wireless communications network is provided. An access node is registered with the network. Information about each access node registered with the network is then stored at a control node. A list is then compiled at the control node, which includes each access node registered with the network and the list indicates which access node is a neighbor of another access node. This neighbor list is sent from the control node to each access node in the network. When an access node detects other access nodes, this is reported to the control node, which updates the neighbor list to the access nodes.
