Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for selecting a pseudo-noise (PN) offset for a newly deployed sector in a mobile communication network. A set of candidate PN offsets is determined and a priority factor for each candidate PN offset is determined based on a sector azimuth of the new sector, sector azimuths of sectors using the candidate PN offsets, or both. The PN offsets are ranked based on priority factor and distance to the new sector. A candidate PN offset is then selected from the candidate list based on the final ranking.
