Cell identifier allocation apparatus and method, base station, readable program and medium

A cell identifier allocation apparatus, comprising:

• a location information acquisition unit, configured to acquire location information of a macro base station and location information of each of a plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses connected to the macro base station;
• a relative distance determination unit, configured to determine relative distances between the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses and relative distances between the macro base station and each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses, according to the location information of the macro base station and the location information of each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses connected to the macro base station acquired by the location information acquisition unit;
• a set classification unit, configured to classify the macro base station and the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses into a plurality of sets, according to the relative distances between the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses and the relative distances between the macro base station and each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses;
• a cell identifier allocation unit, configured to allocate cell identifiers to the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses:
• remote transmitting apparatuses in a same set are allocated with a same cell identifier, remote transmitting apparatuses in different sets are allocated with different cell identifiers, and the macro base station is allocated with a cell identifier the same as cell identifiers of remote transmitting apparatuses in a set where the macro base station is located;
• and
• an information generation unit, configured to generate information to be transmitted to corresponding remote transmitting apparatus according to the allocated cell identifier.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a processing circuit readable program, which when executed by the processing circuit, enables the processing circuit to implement a method for:

• acquiring, by a location information acquisition process, location information of a macro base station and location information of each of a plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses connected to the macro base station;
• determining, by a relative distance determination process, relative distances between the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses and relative distances between the macro base station and each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses, according to the location information of the macro base station and the location information of each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses connected to the macro base station acquired in the location information acquisition process;
• classifying, by a set classification process, the macro base station and the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses into a plurality of sets, according to the relative distances between the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses and the relative distances between the macro base station and each of the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses;
• allocating, by a cell identifier allocation process, cell identifiers to the plurality of remote transmitting apparatuses:
• remote transmitting apparatuses in a same set are allocated with a same cell identifier, remote transmitting apparatuses in different sets are allocated with different cell identifiers, and the macro base station is allocated with a cell identifier the same as cell identifiers of remote transmitting apparatuses in a set where the macro base station is located;
• and
• generating, by an information generation process, information to be transmitted to corresponding remote transmitting apparatus according to the allocated cell identifier.
