Cell Type Information Sharing Between Neighbor Base Stations

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for cell type information sharing between neighbour base stations in a telecommunications system. One embodiment comprises informing a second radio base station serving a second cell and having a neighbour relation with a first cell served by a first base station, of at least the cell type of the first cell. This is accomplished by adding the cell type information to a set of information to be signaled to the second base station, and then signalling the set of information to the second base station.

主权项

1. A method in a first radio base station serving a first cell in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
generating information that indicates a cell type of the first cell explicitly in terms of a geographical size of the first cell, a hierarchical level of the first cell, and/or an extent to which a group of subscribers serviceable by the first cell is closed; and signaling said information from the first radio base station to a second radio base station that serves a second cell neighboring the first cell.
