Abstract
An apparatus and method for configuration and optimization of an Automatic Neighbor Relation (ANR) in a wireless communication system are provided. The method of configuring the ANR by a Base Station (BS) in the wireless communication system includes receiving a measurement report message for reporting a neighbor cell's signal quality from one or more User Equipments (UEs), determining a neighbor cell, reported from a UE in an area where a serving cell's signal quality is greater than a first reference value, as an Overlay Neighbor (ON), among neighbor cells reported using the measurement report message, and determining a neighbor cell, reported from a UE in an area where the serving cell's signal quality is less than a second reference value, as a Horizontal Neighbor (HN), among the neighbor cells reported using the measurement report message, wherein the second reference value is set to a value smaller than the first reference value.
