Assignment of hierarchical cell structures employing geolocation techniques
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining morphology data indicative of morphology information for a geographical region associated with a mobile device, the morphology data comprising first morphology data associated with terrain elements within the geographical region and second morphology data associated with a density of architectural structures within the geographical region; and
assigning the mobile device to a base station device based on whether a distance between the mobile device and the base station device satisfies a defined criterion that varies as a function of the morphology data.

Abstract
Distance is employed to facilitate sector selection and re-selection in a network during handoff. A system receives measurement information for a mobile device. The measurement information includes information indicative of a geographical location of the mobile device. The system determines information indicative of a geographical location of a cell site to which the mobile device is assigned. The system then selects a sector of the cell site with which to associate the mobile device. The selection of the sector is based, at least, on a distance determined between the mobile device and the cell site. In various embodiments, the distance information is determined based on the latitude and longitude of the mobile device. In various embodiments, the morphology of the terrain for the area in which the mobile device is located is factored into the determination of the sector.
