본 논문에서는 LTE(Long Term Evolution) SON(Self Organization Network) 환경에서 PCI(Physical Cell Identification)를 할당하는 방법에 대하여 분석하였다. PCI를 할당하는 방법에 다양한 기법들이 제시되었고 규격에서는 기본적으로 PCI를 할당하는 과정에서 다른 셀과 ID가 '충돌'(Collision) 또는 '혼란'(Confusion)을 일으킬 수 있다는 것을 제시하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LTE 규격에서 제시하는 PCI '충돌', '약한충돌'(Weak Collision) 그리고 '혼란'의 시나리오가 무엇인지 내용을 살펴보았다. 또한, 각 시나리오에 대한 해결 방법으로 셀 중앙적접근과 분산적 접근 방법에 대해 살펴보았다. 논문에서는 최근 연구되고 있는 그래픽 컬러링(Graphic Coloring) 기법에 대한 접근 방법에 대해 살펴보았고 중앙접근적 방법에 대한 전략에 대해 설명하였다.

A large number of phone calls and data services will take place in indoor environments. In Long Term Evolution (LTE), femtocell, as a home base station for indoor coverage extension and wideband data service, has recently gained significant interests from operators and consumers. Since femtocell is frequently turned on and off by a personal owner, not by a network operator, one of the key issues is that femtocell should be identified autonomously without system information to support handover from macrocell to femtocell. In this paper, we propose a dynamic reservation scheme of Physical Cell Identities (PCI) for 3GPP LTE femtocell systems. There are several reserving types, and each type reserves a different number of PCIs for femtocell. The transition among the types depends on the deployed number of femtocells, or the number of PCI confusion events. Accordingly, flexible use of PCIs can decrease PCI confusion. This reduces searching time for femtocell, and it is helpful for the quick handover from macrocell to femtocell. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme reduces average delay for identifying detected cells, and increases network capacity within equal delay constraints.
