Abstract
A method of providing a physical cell identity (PCI) assignment by a management server for small-cell base stations (BSs) in a heterogeneous network environment includes setting a location coordinate and radius for the small-cell BSs; grouping every first preset number of small-cells together to define one femto zone; constructing a location map for each femto zone; grouping every second preset number of femto zones to define one femto group; and constructing a location map for each femto group.
