Systems and methods for resolving physical cell identity confusion in heterogeneous networks

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to resolving physical cell identity confusion in heterogeneous networks. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, the method comprising: receiving a handover request comprising a first physical cell identity of a first target base station [120A]; Comparing a first physical cell identity with a neighbor list comprising a first physical cell identity of the first target base station [120A] and a second physical cell identity of the second target base station [120B]; Transmitting the identifiers of the access points [130A, 130B, 130C, 130D] to the first target base station [120A] and the second target base station [120B]; And received from each of the first target base station [120A] and the second target base station [120B] to perform handover from the serving base station 102 to one of the first target base station [120A] and the second target base station [120B]. And analyzing the response messages.
