MACRO-CELL ASSISTED SMALL CELL DISCOVERY AND RESOURCE ACTIVATION

摘要

A method is described for controlling a small cell base station (1041) in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of small cell base stations (1041-1042) controlled by a macro base station (100). The method comprises taking (204), by a small cell base station (1041), a measurement for obtaining information describing a vicinity around the small cell base station (1041) and reporting the information from the small cell base station (1041) to the macro base station (100).
