1. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a notification from a serving base station regarding a communication device over a mobile network, wherein the communication device is communicatively coupled to the serving base station, wherein the notification indicates discovery of a target base station by the communication device;
obtaining a cell identifier associated with the target base station from the serving base station over the mobile network; and
providing first instructions to the serving base station to generate a communication link between the serving base station and the target base station based on the cell identifier.
