METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATING FEMTO CELL INFORMATION FOR HANDOVER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided for allocating femto cell allocation information to support handover from a cell of a Base Station (BS) to a femto cell in a wireless communication system. The method includes setting a start frequency of a beacon signal to be different from a start frequency of a neighbor femto cell; sequentially hopping a beacon frequency beginning from the start frequency; and allocating new femto cell information using the frequency hopping.
