1. A method for optimized X2 cell reporting, comprising:
selecting, at an X2 gateway (X2GW), a subset of virtualized BaseBand Units (vBBU) vnodes, to an X2 peer eNB that is a macro peer;
selecting, by the X2GW while advertising neighboring cells towards the X2 peer eNB, the subset of vBBU vnodes to the macro peer that host a cell that the X2 peer eNB has reported as a neighbor; and
advertising cells of this subset of vBBU vnodes as served-cells in X2-Setup Request/Response towards the X2 peer eNB.
