Abstract
A method, neighbor relation maintenance device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for neighbor reporting in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method comprises categorizing, by a neighbor relation maintenance device, a plurality of Mobile Stations (MSs) into one or more groups. A primary neighbor BS for each group of the one or more groups of MSs is determined. Each MS of each group is instructed to report signal strength measurements between the each MS and the corresponding primary neighbor BS associated with the each group in a first time period. Each MS of each group is instructed to report signal strength measurements between the each MS and each neighbor BS in a predefined neighbor list associated with the each MS in a second time period.
