摘要
The present disclosure relates to a method, performed in a network node of a first network, for designating one or more cells of a second network as neighbouring cells to the first network. The method comprises selecting a set of carriers employed in the second network and transmitting information for the selected set of carriers to a wireless device served by the first network. Measurement reports are received for respective carriers from the wireless device. The network node determines neighbour cell relations between the first network and one or more cells of the second network based on the received measurement reports.

The invention claimed is:1. A method, performed in a wireless device served by a network node of a first network, for designating one or more cells of a second network as neighbouring cells to the first network, the method comprising:receiving, from said network node of the first network, information on a set of carriers employed in the second network; performing measurements on selected one or more carriers from the set of carriers; and transmitting measurement reports for respective carriers to the network node, the measurement reports being representative of neighbour cell relations between the first network and one or more cells of the second network, wherein the measurement reports for the respective carriers are configured to cause the network node of the first network to determine neighbour cell relations between the first network and the one or more cells of the second network by associating the measurement results and a location of the wireless device to a location in a location oriented map which defines cell geography of the second network. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement reports for the respective carriers are configured to cause the network node of the first network to use the cell geography of the second network disclosed by the location oriented map to determine when another wireless device becomes proximately located to the second network, and determine the second network has become available for migration by the other wireless device when it is determined that the other wireless device has become proximately located to the second network. 3. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:obtaining information on carriers employed in the second network. 4. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:receiving a measurement order from the first network, the measurement order comprising one or more selected carriers for measuring. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement reports for the respective carriers are configured to cause the network node of the first network to determine neighbour cell relations of the second network using a neighbour relation table in the network node. 6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the first network, information on the neighbor cell relations to one or more neighbouring network nodes of the first network or to one or more neighbouring network nodes of the second network. 7. A wireless device served by a network node of a first network, for designating one or more cells of a second network as neighbouring cells to the first network, the wireless device comprising:radio circuitry arranged for transmission and reception of radio signals; processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to:receiving, from said network node of the first network, information on a set of carriers employed in the second network; performing measurements on selected one or more carriers from the set of carriers; and transmitting measurement reports for respective carriers to the network node, the measurement reports being representative of neighbour cell relations between the first network and one or more cells of the second network, wherein the determining of neighbour cell relations between the first network and one or more cells of the second network comprises associating the measurement results and the location of the wireless device to a location in a location oriented map which defines cell geography of the second network, and further comprising using the cell geography of the second network disclosed by the location oriented map to determine when another wireless device becomes proximately located to the second network, and determining the second network has become available for migration by the other wireless device when it is determined that the other wireless device has become proximately located to the second network. 8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the measurement reports for the respective carriers are configured to cause the network node of the first network to use the cell geography of the second network disclosed by the location oriented map to determine when another wireless device becomes proximately located to the second network, and determine the second network has become available for migration by the other wireless device when it is determined that the other wireless device has become proximately located to the second network. 9. The wireless device of claim 7 , the method further comprising: obtain information on carriers employed in the second network. 10. The wireless device of claim 7 , the wireless device further configured to:receiving a measurement order from the first network, the measurement order comprising one or more selected carriers for measuring. 11. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the measurement reports for the respective carriers are configured to cause the network node of the first network to determine neighbour cell relations of the second network using a neighbour relation table in the network node. 12. The wireless device of claim 7 , wireless device further configured to receive, from the first network, information on the neighbor cell relations to one or more neighbouring network nodes of the first network or to one or more neighbouring network nodes of the second network.
