1. A device for balancing mobility overhead and load requirements on a wireless communication system, residing on at least one of an evolved Node B (eNodeB) or an Operation &

  • Maintenance (O&

    M) module located within an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), said device comprising;

    a selection module configured to select, for a set of transmission cells, one of a high mobility Cell-IDentification (Cell-ID) configuration and a high load capacity Cell-ID configuration, wherein the selection module is comprised of code that is stored in one or more digital memory devices to be executed by one or more processors or the selection module is implemented in a first hardware circuit; and

    a configuration module, in communication with the selection module, wherein the configuration module is comprised of code that is stored in the one or more digital memory devices to be executed by the one or more processors or the configuration module is implemented in a second hardware circuit, and wherein the configuration module is configured to;

    configure the set of transmission cells to operate in the high mobility Cell-ID configuration, the high mobility Cell-ID configuration comprising a Single Frequency Network (SFN) with a common Cell-ID to reduce mobility overhead, andconfigure the set of transmission cells to operate in the high load capacity configuration, the high load capacity configuration having multiple transmission cells with different cell-IDs, to allow increased spectral efficiency for an increased load.
