FIELD: communications systems.
SUBSTANCE: proposal is given of a method of compressing control information for an up-link in a wireless communication system, where a mobile user station scans neighboring base stations upon request by a service base station and sends information on the neighboring base stations to the service base station. In this method, the service base station sends a message with notice of neighboring base stations, which includes an identifier, of at least one neighboring base station, about which the service station intends to obtain information and an identifier of the above mentioned neighboring base station. The mobile user station then scans the channel, transmitted by at least one neighboring base station, and sends the scanning result together with the index of that neighboring base station to the service base station.
EFFECT: reduced unproductive expenses.
