Abstract

Des aspects de la présente invention concernent une technique d'évitement de collision de PCI par une première station de base (par exemple, une petite cellule telle qu'une picocellule ou une femtocellule). Les techniques selon l'invention consistent généralement à détecter (par exemple, au démarrage) des identifiants de cellule physique (PCI) de cellules avoisinantes et à éviter tout PCI détecté lorsque la première station de base sélectionne de façon autonome son propre PCI.
