Abstract
In a radio access network (RAN), a method for increasing network efficiency includes partitioning a pool of identifiers into at least a plurality of identifier sets associated with a plurality of respective sets of base stations in the RAN. The identifier sets include a first identifier set associated with a first base station set of the plurality of respective sets of base stations. The method also includes determining that the first base station set is to serve a user device and assigning a first identifier from the first identifier set to the user device. The method further includes transmitting the first identifier to the user device and jointly transmitting, by at least two base stations of the first base station set, information to the user device via a channel, including using the first identifier to indicate that the channel carries information for the user device.
