PCI Planning Strategies for Long Term Evolution Networks

In Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, physical cell identity allocation (PCI) is crucial for quality of service and somewhat similar to scrambling code allocation in WCDMA. PCI, or Layer 1 identity, is an essential configuration parameter of a radio cell. It identifies the cell in mobility functions such as cell reselection and handover. In this paper simulation results, in order to optimize P...
