Abstract
A cell access method and a cell access apparatus are provided. The cell access method includes steps of: measuring pilot signals for each of multiple cells that have been searched out, the pilot signals transmitted on a pilot resource for each cell being beam-formed using a set of beam-forming vectors configured for the cell; and selecting a cell corresponding to an optimum pilot signal measurement result from the multiple cells that have been searched and accessing the selected cell.
Claims21
A cell access method, comprising steps of:
- measuring pilot signals for each of a plurality of cells that has been searched out, the pilot signals transmitted on a pilot resource for each cell being beam-formed using a set of beam-forming vectors configured for the cell;
- and
- selecting a cell corresponding to an optimum pilot signal measurement result from the plurality of cells that has been searched out and accessing the selected cell.
A cell access method, comprising steps of:
- beam-forming pilot signals for a cell using a set of beam-forming vectors configured for the cell;
- and
- transmitting the beam-formed pilot signals on a pilot resource, to enable a User Equipment to measure the pilot signals for each of a plurality of cells that has been searched out, select, based on measurement results of the pilot signals for the cells that have been searched out, a cell from the plurality of cells that has been searched out, and access the selected cell.
15-28. (canceled)
A cell access apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory connected to the processor via a bus interface and configured to store therein a program and data to be used in operation of the processor,
- wherein when calling an executing the program and data stored in the memory, the processor is configured to:
