Abstract
Detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station may be achieved by receiving, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station. The dedicated identifier may include or otherwise map to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station. Based on the dedicated identifier, it may be determined, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station.
Claims40
A method for detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station, comprising:
- receiving, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station, wherein the dedicated identifier includes or otherwise maps to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station;
- and
- determining, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station based on the dedicated identifier.
An apparatus for detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station, wherein the dedicated identifier includes or otherwise maps to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station, and
- determine, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station based on the dedicated identifier;
- and
- memory coupled to the at least one processor.
An apparatus for detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station, comprising:
- means for receiving, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station, wherein the dedicated identifier includes or otherwise maps to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station;
- and
- means for determining, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station based on the dedicated identifier.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations for detecting local cell identifier collision by a base station, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
- code for receiving, at a first base station from a user device, a dedicated identifier associated with a second base station, wherein the dedicated identifier includes or otherwise maps to a user device identifier associated with the second base station and a local cell identifier associated with the second base station;
- and
- code for determining, at the first base station, that there is a local cell identifier collision between the first base station and the second base station based on the dedicated identifier.
