Abstract

A method and system of generating neighbor cell lists in a cellular environment having a first cell and a plurality of neighbor cells. The first cell and the neighbor cells each include a plurality of designated active controllers associated therewith. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of designating one of the controllers in the first cell as the active controller for the first cell, generating a first neighbor list of the active controllers for the neighbor cells, and generating a second neighbor list of the active controllers for the neighbor cells upon the change in active status of any of the neighboring active controllers. The lists are generated in accordance with a database of controllers linkable with the designated active controller.
