A small cell for automatic configuration of an operational parameter includes at least one processor configured to determine a provisioned list of operational parameters. The at least one processor is also configured to sort the provisioned list into a sorted list. The at least one processor is also configured to select the operational parameter from the sorted list based on a BC ID for the small cell, a sector ID for a sector implemented by the small cell, or some combination.

Automatic configuration of operational parameters in small cells without using radio environment monitoring

A small cell for selecting a physical cell identifier (PCI) includes at least one processor configured to determine a provisioned list of PCI values from a management system. The at least one processor is also configured to sort the PCI values in the provisioned list into a sorted list based on at least one predetermined pattern and modulo X values of the PCI values, where X is a predetermined integer. The at least one processor is also configured to determine an index for each sector implemented by the small cell based on a sector ID for the sector. The at least one processor is also configured to select, for each sector implemented by the small cell, a PCI value from the sorted list based on a sector ID of the sector.

Selecting a physical cell identifier in a small cell without using radio environment monitoring

A base station for performing physical cell identifier (PCI) collision detection. The base station includes at least one processor configured to determine whether a PCI in a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment message is the same as a PCI used by a cell implemented by the base station. The at least one processor is also configured to determine whether a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) in the RRC Re-establishment message is outside a reserved range of C-RNTIs for the cell. The at least one processor is also configured to identify a possible PCI collision for the cell when (1) the PCI in the RRC Re-establishment message is the same as a PCI used by the cell; and (2) the C-RNTI in the RRC Re-establishment message is outside the reserved range of C-RNTIs for the cell.
