using nrf9160 to read all nearby base stations' Cell ID, TAC, MNC, MCC

[MariusB]

Hi,

I am trying to read read all nearby base stations' Cell ID, TAC, MNC, MCC.

Is this even possible to do with this DK? 

At this point I have found these commands: 

• AT+CEREG, which give me Cell ID and TAC, but only the base station I am currently connected to. 
  • Is there a similar command, which returns this data for all nearby base stations?
• AT%NBRGRSRP
  • This command returns physical Cell ID, not the unique Cell ID. Is it possible to have the unique Cell ID? 
  • When I use this command,  see figure below. 

Best regards,

Marius

Hi,

 

When I use this command,  see figure below. 

 The nRF9160 does not meassure neighboring cells in all scenarios, as explained in the documentation for the command.

 At the moment, %NBRGRSP is the closes you will get.

However, in the upcoming modem firmware v1.3.0 we will provide better means of getting information about nearby cells.

Best regards,
