Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cell configuration method in a wireless network with a plurality of carriers. The method is performed at a base station of the wireless network. The method comprises generating a common cell from a first plurality of sectors at a first carrier of the plurality of carriers and identifying one or more high-traffic sectors from a second plurality of sectors at a second carrier of the plurality of carriers by monitoring a traffic volume of each of the second plurality of sectors. Each of the identified high-traffic sectors has the traffic volume higher than a predetermined threshold. The method also comprises generating one or more independent high-traffic cells from the one or more high-traffic sectors. The first plurality of sectors at least partially overlaps with the second plurality of sectors. Correspondingly, there is also provided an apparatus for cell configuration in a wireless network with a plurality of carriers.
