Description

"Heterogeneous Telecommunication Network Ontology (hint) aims to provide an operational ontology that allows the representation of the main mobility management concepts and relationships. It is supported by UFO Foundational Ontology and is based on the conceptual model proposed in the article entitled 'Enhancing heterogeneous mobile network management based on a well-founded reference ontology' (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2023.08.008)"

MonitoredBond ^c

IRI	https://purl.org/s2c2/hint#MonitoredBond

There are Signals that are not elected to be the ServingSignal, but need to be monitored to allow the execution of the handover process. In this sense, MonitoredSenders generates MonitoredSignals, which allows the bonding to a Receiver. The MonitoredBond represents such bonding, and it is a role played by the DecodedBond. According to 3GPP's recommendations, the MonitoredSender is also known as Neighbor and, therefore, the MonitoredBond is also known as the Neighbor Link.
