设置与上述小基站所覆盖小区的小区类型相似度越高的小区的切换优先级 别设置越高， 设置与上述小基站所覆盖小区的小区类型的相似度越低的小区的 切换优先级别越低。 例如， 设置上述相邻小区中与上述小基站所覆盖小区的小 区类型一致的小区的切换优先级别最高， 上述相邻小区中的宏小区的切换优先 级别最低。
若上述小基站所覆盖小区为微微小区， 则设置上述相邻小区中的微微小区 的切换优先级别最高， 设置上述相邻小区中的微小区或毫微微小区的优先级别 仅次于微微小区的切换优先级别， 设置上述相邻小区中的宏小区的切换优先级 别最低。
作为一种可选的实施方式， 处理器 82在执行从上述测量报告包含的相邻小 区中，选择出满足切换条件且切换优先级别最高的小区作为上述 UE的目标小区 的操作之前， 还用于执行如下操作：
获取上述相邻小区的小区类型信息；
根据上述相邻小区的小区类型信息设置上述相邻小区的切换优先级别； 其 中， 上述相邻小区中与上述小基站所覆盖小区的小区类型一致的小区的切换优 先级别最高。
可选的， 该实施方式中， 处理器 82在执行获取上述相邻小区的小区类型信 息的操作之后， 在执行根据上述相邻小区的小区类型信息设置上述相邻小区的 切换优先级别的操作之前， 还用于执行如下操作：
根据上述小区类型信息在相邻小区列表中增加上述相邻小区的小区类型标 识；
处理器 82执行的根据上述相邻小区的小区类型信息设置上述相邻小区的切 换优先级别的操作可以包括：
根据上述相邻小区列表中的小区类型标识设置上述相邻小区的切换优先级 别。
可选的， 上述相邻小区列表具体可以釆用现有的， 还可以是本发明预先设 置的相邻小区列表。
该实施方式中， 由于在相邻小区列表中增加了相邻小区的小区类型标识， 这样在后续的目标小区选择过程中更加的快捷方便选择出目标小区。 在实际应 用中微微小区和毫微微小区主要作用于室内小区， 用于吸收宏小区的话务量。 这样在本实施方式中， 就可以实现标识相邻小区的中微微小区和毫微微小区为 用于吸收宏小区的话务量的小区； 而微小区在实际应用中主要作用为室外小区， 用于增加网络的容量， 这样在本实施方式中， 就可以实现标识相邻小区中的微 小区为增加网络容量的小区。
作为一种可选的实施方式中， 当上述相邻小区中满足切换条件且切换优先 级别最高且的小区存在多个时， 处理器 82执行的从上述测量报告包含的相邻小 区中，选择出满足切换条件且切换优先级别最高的小区作为上述 UE的目标小区 的操作可以包括：
从上述测量报告包含的相邻小区中， 选择出满足切换条件且切换优先级别 最高的小区的信号最强的小区为上述 UE的目标小区。
该实施方式中， 可以实现从多个切换优先级别最高且满足切换条件的小区 中选择信号最强的小区为目标小区。
作为一种可选的实施实施方式， 上述小基站还可以包括：
存储器 84, 用于存储处理器 82所执行的程序。 前述实施例中处理器 82所 执行的操作所对应的程序或指令， 均可以存储在存储器 84中。
上述技术方案中， 在上面实施例的基础上， 增加了多种实现选择非宏小区 的实现方式， 可以减少宏基站的负担。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例方法中的全部或部分流程， 是可以通过计算机程序来指令相关的硬件来完成， 所述的程序可存储于一计算 机可读取存储介质中， 该程序在执行时， 可包括如上述各方法的实施例的流程。 其中， 所述的存储介质可为磁碟、 光盘、 只读存储记忆体（Read-Only Memory, ROM )或随机存取存储器（ Random Access Memory, 简称 RAM )等。
以上所揭露的仅为本发明较佳实施例而已， 当然不能以此来限定本发明之 权利范围， 因此依本发明权利要求所作的等同变化， 仍属本发明所涵盖的范围。
