ANR Process
3.
When the UE has found out the new cells ECGI, the UE
reports the detected ECGI to the serving cell eNB.
In addition the UE reports the tracking area code and all
PLMN IDs that have been detected.
If the detected cell is a CSG or hybrid cell, the UE also
reports the CSG ID to the serving cell eNB.
4.
The eNB decides to add this neighbor relation, and can use
PCI and ECGI to:
Look upa transport layer address to the new eNB.
Update theNeighborRelation List.
If needed, setup a new X2 interface towards this eNB.

Types of ANR
Intra-LTE/frequency ANR:
The eNB serving cell with ANR function, instructs each UE to perform measurements on
neighbor cells, as a part of the normal call procedure. The eNB may use different policies
for instructing the UE to do measurements, and when to report them to the eNB.
When UE discovers new cells ECGI, the UE reports the detected ECGI to the serving
cell eNB. In addition the UE reports the tracking area code and all PLMN IDs that have
been detected. The eNB adds this Neighbor relation to NRT.
Inter-RAT/Inter-frequency ANR:
The eNB serving cell with ANR function can instruct a UE to perform measurements and
detect cells on other RATs/frequencies .during connected mode. The eNB may use
different policies for instructing the UE to do measurements, and when to report them to
the eNB.
The UE reports the PCI of the detected cells in the target RATs/frequencies. When the
eNB receives UE reports containing PCIs of cell(s), eNB may instruct the UE to read the
CGI and the RAC of the detected Neighbor cell in case of GERAN detected cells and CGI,
LAC and, RAC in case of UTRAN detected cells. For the Interfrequency case, the eNB may
instruct the UE to read the ECGI, TAC and all available PLMN ID(s) of the inter-frequency
detected cell.
The eNB updates its inter-RAT/inter-frequency Neighbor Relation Table after receiving
relevant info from UE.
Blacklists
ANR Functions
Active Phase
This corresponds to the phase where an eNB is first put into service with the ANR function
activated, or when the ANR function is first activated for the eNB, or when the ANR
function
is reset. The eNB triggers a specific and accelerated Neighbor discovery procedure, which
ends when the Neighbor cell list is considered complete.
Dormant Phase
When the eNB considers its Neighbor cell list to be complete, it enters the dormant phase.
It does not actively search for new Neighbor relations, and will only be awakened by a UE
requesting a handover towards a cell (ie PCI) unknown to the eNB.
Wake-up Phase
During the dormant phase of ANR, a UE requesting a handover towards a cell (ie PCI)
unknown to the eNB (the PCI of the best reported cell is unknown) will cause the eNB to
"wake up": for a short, time-limited period the eNB will actively attempt to discover the full
identity of the new cell. This wake-up phase is cell-specific; in other words, one of the
eNB's
cells may be in the wake-up phase while the other cells remain in dormant phase.
