Cell configuration for self-organized networks with flexible spectrum usage

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for controlling cell configuration in a cellular network, wherein a cell identity and a local cell spectrum resource entity or profile (20) are assigned to an access device (11, 12) in response to a result of sensing a local radio environment at said access device to detect possible neighbor cells. The assigned local cell spectrum resource entity or profile (20) is used to allocate cell spectrum resource from a shared multi-operator spectrum to said access device (10).
