Abstract:
1. A method for allocating IDcells in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: performing, by an initial allocator, an initial IDcell allocation by allocating entire sectors to elements of an N×M IDcell matrix; selecting, by a target sector decider, a sector pair with a highest proximity for each IDcell in the initial allocation, determining an IDcell with a sector pair having a highest proximity of the selected sector pairs as a target IDcell, and selecting one sector of the sector pair with the highest proximity for the target IDcell as a target sector; and selecting, by a neighborhood set configurer, a predetermined number of sectors for each of the other IDcells, except for the target IDcell, from among sectors to which the each of the other IDcells is allocated, and swapping the IDcell of the target sector with the IDcell of a sector satisfying a first condition among the selected sectors.
