Abstract
A method for gathering small cells is provided. In the method, an instruction gathering device gathers connections of the small cells for transmitting control packets, and provides at least two virtual cells to process the connections. When a user device switches the connection to another small cell, the instruction gathering device also assigns another virtual cell to process the control packets related to the user device. The virtual cells partially replace contents of the control packets before forwarding the control packets.
