Abstract
The communication system includes a first base station that forms a first cell, a second base station that forms a second cell, and an identifier assignment device that assigns an identifier for identifying the second cell, wherein the first base station transmits first neighbor cell information containing identifier information of neighbor cells of the first cell to the second base station, and the second base station transmits the first neighbor cell information received from the first base station to the identifier assignment device.
Claims10
A communication system comprising:
- a first base station that forms a first cell;
- a second base station that forms a second cell;
- and
- an identifier assignment device that is connected to the second base station and assigns an identifier for identifying the second cell, and is not connected to the first base station, wherein:
- the first base station transmits first neighbor cell information, containing identifier information of a neighbor cell of the first, cell to the second base station;
- and
- the second base station transmits the first neighbor cell information, received from the first base station, to the identifier assignment device.
An identifier assignment device in a communication system including a first base station forming a first cell and a second base station forming a second cell, the identifier assignment device assigning an identifier of the second cell, comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives first neighbor cell information, containing identifier information of neighbor cells of the first cell, from the second base station;
- and
- an identifier assignment unit that is connected to the second base station and assigns an identifier of the second cell based on the first neighbor cell information received by the receiving unit, and is not connected to the first base station.
A base station in a communication system including a first cell, a second cell, and an identifier assignment device that is connected to the second base station and assigns an identifier of the second cell, and is not connected to the first base station, the base station forming the second cell, comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives first neighbor cell information, containing identifier information of neighbor cells of the first cell, from another base station forming the first cell;
- and
- a transmitting unit that transmits the first neighbor cell information to the identifier assignment device.
An identifier assignment method comprising:
- transmitting first neighborcell information, containing identifier information of neighborcells of a first cell formed by a first base station, to a second base station that forms a second cell;
- and
- transmitting the first neighbor cell information, received by the second base station, to an identifier assignment device that is connected to the second base station and assigns an identifier of the second cell, and is not connected to the first base station.
A method for an identifier assignment device in a communication system including a first base station forming a first cell and a second base station forming a second cell, the identifier assignment device being connected to the second base station and assigning an identifier of the second cell, and not being connected to the first base station, the method comprising:
- receiving first neighbor cell information, containing identifier information of neighbor cells of the first cell, from the second base station;
- and
- assigning an identifier of the second cell based on the received first neighbor cell information.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying instructions for controlling a device to implement an identifier assignment method comprising:
- transmitting first neighbor cell information containing identifier information of neighbor cells of a first cell formed by a first base station to a second base station that forms a second cell;
- and
- transmitting the first neighbor cell information received by the second base station to an identifier assignment device that is connected to the second base station and assigns an identifier of the second cell, and is not connected to the first base station.
