  • Method and apparatus for serving cell code assignment
    Patent number: 6144851
    Abstract: Serving cell codes, such as group color codes, are automatically assigned to serving cells in a cellular communications network. For serving cells which share a frequency, the serving cell codes generally indicate distance from an arbitrarily chosen initial serving cell. When a new serving cell is added, only serving cells sharing the channel group associated with the new serving cell need be considered, and the serving cell codes for the remainder of the serving cells are unchanged.
