  • Patent number: 8504086
    Abstract: A method and apparatus allocates a Physical Cell Identifier (PCID) in a wireless communication system by considering a PCID reuse factor. An allowable PCID list is acquired from a server. A set of candidate PCIDs is determined from the allowable PCID list according to PCID allocation conditions. A received signal strength of each cell using the determined set of candidate PCID is determined. At least one PCID is selected by using a PCID reuse factor and the received signal strength of each of the cells using the determined set of candidate PCIDs.

  • Publication number: 20100197298
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network including several macro cells each having several femto cells, when a trigger event occurs for a measurement report, user equipment creates a measurement report message which includes a cell identifier of a target femto cell for the measurement report in response to the trigger event, measuring results for the target femto cell, and a neighbor cell identifier having a cell identifier of at least one neighbor femto cell around the target femto cell. Then the user equipment transmits the measurement report message to an evolved node B (eNB). When receiving the measurement report message, the eNB distinguishes the target femto cell from others in the femto cells based on the neighbor cell identifier in the received measurement report message.
