/**
 * \brief Automatic Neighbour Relation function.
 *
 * ANR is a conceptually a list of neighbouring cells called the Neighbour
 * Relation Table (NRT). ANR has the capability of automatically inserting new
 * entries into NRT based on measurement reports obtained from the eNodeB RRC
 * instance. Besides this, ANR also supports manual insertion and accepts
 * queries for the NRT content.
 *
 * The LteHelper class automatically installs one ANR instance for each eNodeB
 * RRC instance. When installed, ANR will assist the eNodeB RRC's handover
 * function, e.g., by preventing an X2-based handover execution if there is no
 * X2 interface to the target neighbour cell. If this is not desired, it can be
 * disabled by the following code sample:
 *
 *     Config::SetDefault ("ns3::LteHelper::AnrEnabled", BooleanValue (false));
 *     Ptr<LteHelper> lteHelper = CreateObject<LteHelper> ();
 *
 * The communication between an ANR instance and the eNodeB RRC instance is done
 * through the *ANR SAP* interface. The ANR instance corresponds to the
 * "provider" part of this interface, while the eNodeB RRC instance takes the
 * role of the "user" part. The following code skeleton establishes the
 * connection between both instances:
 *
 *     Ptr<LteEnbRrc> u = ...;
 *     Ptr<LteAnr> p = ...;
 *     u->SetLteAnrSapProvider (p->GetLteAnrSapProvider ());
 *     p->SetLteAnrSapUser (u->GetLteAnrSapUser ());
 *
 * However, user rarely needs to use the above code, since it has already been
 * taken care by LteHelper::InstallEnbDevice.
 *
 * The current ANR model is inspired from Section 22.3.2a and 22.3.3 of 3GPP
 * TS 36.300.
