Abstract
Provided are a method and a device for dynamically constructing a virtual cell. The method includes: a master station sending an event A4 to UE and receiving an A4 measurement report from the UE; and the master station adding a cell corresponding to a cell identity carried in the A4 measurement report as a slave station, herein the master station and slave stations form a first virtual cell. In the technical solution, a serving cell selected by UE may be any cell and is not necessary to be a macro cell, the master station adds a cell which satisfies an event A4 as a slave station and thereby a virtual cell is realized.

A method for dynamically constructing a virtual cell, applied to an ultra-dense network, comprising:
- User Equipment, UE, selecting a serving cell, using the selected serving cell as a master station and establishing a service on the master station;
- the UE receiving an event A4 from the master station and performing measurement on neighboring cells of the master station;
- when it is judged that there is a cell which satisfies the event A4 in the neighboring cells of the master station, the UE sending an A4 measurement report to the master station;
- and
- the UE receiving a first Radio Resource Control, RRC, connection reconfiguration message from the master station, generating a first encryption key according to the first RRC connection reconfiguration message, performing reestablishment by using the generated first encryption key, sending a first RRC connection reconfiguration completion message to the master station and initiating a random access process to a slave station.

A method for dynamically constructing a virtual cell, applied to an ultra-dense network, comprising:
- a slave station receiving a first adding request message or a second adding request message from a master station, generating a first encryption key according to the first adding request message or the second adding request message, and performing configuration by using the generated first encryption key;
- and
- the slave station sending a first adding command message or a second adding command message to the master station,
- wherein the first adding command message comprises a first encryption algorithm.
