Abstract
A method and system to help provide efficient configuration of reference signal transmission in a wireless communication system. A processing system evaluates the configurations of various sectors within a region, taking into account distances between the sectors and azimuths of the sectors, to determine for at least one sector an aggregate interference score with respect to one or more nearby sectors having the same reference signal as the sector. And based on the aggregate interference score, the processing system may then reconfigure reference signal transmission of the sector, such as by changing the reference signal configuration of the sector for instance. Further, the processing system may iteratively repeat this process for numerous sectors within a region, to help optimize reference signal configurations throughout the region.
