PUCCH AND PCI CONFIGURATION FOR SMALL CELL BASE STATION

Abstract:

A base station (BS) may receive at least one system information block (SIB) from one or more neighbor BSs, extract a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) common configuration from the SIB for each of the one or more neighbor BSs, and select one or more PUCCH common configuration parameters for the BSs to avoid having a same PUCCH common configuration as the one or more neighbor base stations, the same PUCCH common configuration including at least one of a PUCCH hopping parameter or a common PUCCH resource.
