First Claim
Patent Images
1. A scrambling code planning device for allocating a plurality of primary scrambling codes to sites within a wireless communication network, the scrambling code planning device comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores processor-executable instructions therein where the processor interfaces with the memory and executes the processor-executable instructions to enable the following;
forming a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster includes one or more of the sites of the wireless communications network, and wherein each cluster will not include more than a first predetermined number of sites;
allocating one of a plurality of primary scrambling code sets to each of the formed clusters, wherein there are a predetermined number of primary scrambling code sets and each primary scrambling code set includes a predetermined number of the primary scrambling codes; and
allocating to the sites in each of the formed clusters which have the same primary scrambling code set allocated thereto the predetermined number of the primary scrambling codes associated with the same primary scrambling code set.

17. A wireless communication network comprising:
-
an operational support system; a plurality of nodes each of which manages a site; a controller coupled to the operational support system and configured to manage the plurality of nodes; a scrambling code planning device coupled to the operational support system and configured to allocate a plurality of primary scrambling codes to the sites, wherein the scrambling code planning includes a primary scrambling code generation unit which; forms a plurality of clusters, wherein each cluster includes one or more of the sites, and wherein each cluster will not include more than a first predetermined number of sites; allocates one of a plurality of primary scrambling code sets to each of the formed clusters, wherein there are a predetermined number of primary scrambling code sets and each primary scrambling code set includes a predetermined number of the primary scrambling codes; and allocates to the sites in each of the formed clusters which have the same primary scrambling code set allocated thereto the predetermined number of the primary scrambling codes associated with the same primary scrambling code set. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
