METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CELL CONFIGURATION INFORMATION TO A NETWORK ELEMENT

摘要

A network controller for supporting a multi-cell service in a cellular communication network comprises interface connection logic operably coupled to at least one network element supporting communication within a communication cell of the cellular communication network. The network controller further comprises signal processing logic for generating a cell configuration message comprising cell configuration information, and transmitting logic for transmitting the cell configuration message to the at least one network element using a multicast protocol.
