Abstract

A method and system to help provide efficient configuration of reference signal transmission in a wireless communication system. A processing system evaluates handover history between sectors in the system, considering the reference signal configurations of the sectors between which handovers have occurred, as a basis to determine what reference signal configurations to implement in one or more sectors. And the processing system may then cause the sectors to implement the determined reference signal configurations. Further, the processing system may iteratively repeat this process, to help optimize reference signal configurations throughout the region.
