    摘要: A method of allocating frequency channels for transmissions between user equipment and a femto base station within a femto cell, a computer program product and a femto cell base station are disclosed. The frequency channels are for transmissions within a femto cell between user equipment and a femto base station, the femto cell being located within a local macro cell of a wireless telecommunications network, the wireless telecommunications network supporting transmissions over a plurality of predetermined frequency channels. The method comprises the steps of: determining at least one macro cell frequency channel from the plurality of predetermined frequency channels currently allocated for transmissions within the local macro cell between other user equipment and a macro base station supporting the local macro cell; and allocating at least one femto cell frequency channel from the plurality of predetermined frequency channels which differs from the at least one macro cell frequency channel for transmissions within the femto cell between the user equipment and the femto base station. In this way, the amount of interference contributed to existing transmission within the macro cell is limited. This helps to ensure that the interference experienced by user equipment within the macro cell is limited.

    摘要: A femto base station and a method are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of:
    a) providing a switched multiple antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas, one or more antennas from the plurality of antennas being switchable to form one of a plurality of antenna groups, each antenna group providing a corresponding predetermined fixed beam pattern; b) determining a transmission power for each fixed beam pattern which provides less than a predefined maximum occurrence of unwanted user equipment mobility events over a predetermined period of time; c) determining a quality of service provided to registered user equipment for each fixed beam pattern at that transmission power; and d) selecting that antenna group and transmission power which generates a predetermined fixed beam pattern which maximises quality of service to registered user equipment whilst not exceeding the predefined maximum occurrence of unwanted user equipment mobility events. In this way, the fixed beam pattern and transmission power combination is selected which maximises the coverage provided to registered user equipment whilst ensuring that an acceptable level of unwanted mobility events is not exceed. By ensuring that the number of unwanted mobility events remains low, the number of mobility procedures is minimised which minimises the signalling required to the core network and also reduces the risk of call drop from passing user equipment from occurring.
