SMALL CELL RESOURCE CONFIGURATION METHOD AND DEVICE FOR A WIRELESS MOBILE NETWORK
A small cell resource configuration method and device for a wireless mobile network. The method comprises: receiving an access request initiated by a terminal and a measurement result of a small cell reported by the terminal, wherein the measurement result is obtained by measuring the small cell before the terminal initiates the access request; determining the small cell which serves the terminal according to the measurement result of the small cell; and configuring a transmission resource on the determined small cell for the terminal, or receiving an access request initiated by a terminal on a frequency point of a small cell, and configuring a transmission resource on the small cell for the terminal. Since small cell information is broadcast in a macro cell, a terminal can measure a small cell according to the received small cell information before initiating an access request, instead of performing measurement during an access process. Therefore, signalling interaction of configuring a transmission resource of a small cell for a terminal during an access process is reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of enabling the terminal to use the transmission resource of the small cell as soon as possible.
