METHOD OF ASSIGNING PHYSICAL LAYER CELL IDENTITY OF FEMTOCELL BASE STATION

摘要

Provided is a method of assigning a physical layer cell identity (PCI) to a femtocell base station. The method includes obtaining location information from a femtocell base station and storing the location information, a first step of determining whether a PCI does not collide and is not confused with PCIs of base stations present in an area having a radius of a first multiple of a the femtocell radius and a second step of determining whether a PCI does not collide and is not confused with PCIs of base stations present in an area having a radius of a second multiple of the femtocell radius when a PCI does not collide and is not confused with PCIs of base stations is not found in an area having a radius of a first multiple of the femtocell radius.
