METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION FROM TARGET BASE STATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H04W28/08 

FIELD: physics, communications.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication systems. The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for obtaining information from a target base station. The method comprises the following steps: when a source base station needs to obtain information from a target base station, receiving, over a radio interface, a system message in a certain format which is transmitted by the target base station, parsing the system message and obtaining the required information.

EFFECT: LTE base station may communicate with another LTE base station or with a heterogeneous base station directly over a radio interface, thereby improving communication efficiency between base stations.
