Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of for operating a first base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising receiving, from an information providing server, information related to an available frequency band, measuring a channel quality of each of a plurality of frequencies in the available frequency band, and determining an operation frequency based on the channel quality of each of the plurality of the frequencies.

receiving, from an information providing server managing a shared spectrum, information on an available frequency band of the shared spectrum, wherein the available frequency band includes at least one frequency band which is accessible by the base station with a priority;

measuring a channel quality for each of the at least one frequency band in the available frequency band; and

identifying an operation frequency band among the at least one frequency band based on a frequency assignment mode of the base station and the channel quality,

wherein the frequency assignment mode is configured by the information providing server, and includes a first mode applying a weight value based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for reducing interference from other cell, a second mode applying a weight value based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for performing a handover without changing frequency band, and a third mode applying different weight values based on a combination ratio of the first mode and the second mode, and

wherein the identifying further comprises:

selecting, based on the first mode, a frequency band with a lowest RSSI value as the operation frequency band,

selecting, based on the second mode, a frequency band of a neighbor cell with a highest RSRP value in a neighbor cell list of the base station as the operation frequency band, and

selecting, based on the third mode, a frequency band corresponding to a largest one of the RSSI value or the RSRP value multiplied by the different weight values based on the combination ratio as the operation frequency band, and

wherein the selecting, based on the second mode, further comprises:

receiving, from a management server, information on at least one neighbor cell, and

updating the neighbor cell list based on the information on the at least one neighbor cell, wherein a number of neighbor cells included in the updated neighbor cell list is less than or equal to a threshold number.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying further comprises:

identifying the operation frequency band by applying a weight value to the channel quality for each of the at least one frequency band, and

wherein the weight value is indicated by a message from the management server.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the management server, a cell identifier of the base station and the identified operation frequency band.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the information on the at least one neighbor cell comprises a cell identifier and an operation frequency band of the at least one neighbor cell of the base station.

5. A first base station in a wireless communication system, the first base station comprising:

receive, from an information providing server managing a shared spectrum, information on an available frequency band of the shared spectrum, wherein the available frequency band includes at least one frequency band which is accessible by the first base station with a priority,

measure a channel quality for each of the at least one frequency band in the available frequency band, and

identify an operation frequency band among the at least one frequency band based on a frequency assignment mode of the first base station and the channel quality,

wherein the frequency assignment mode is configured by the information providing server, and includes a first mode applying a weight value based on a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value for reducing interference from other cell, a second mode applying a weight value based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for performing a handover without changing frequency band, and a third mode applying different weight values based on a combination ratio of the first mode and the second mode, and

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify the operation frequency band by:

selecting, based on the first mode, a frequency band with a lowest RSSI value as the operation frequency band,

selecting, based on the second mode, a frequency band of a neighbor cell with a highest RSRP value in a neighbor cell list of the first base station as the operation frequency band, and

selecting, based on the third mode, a frequency band corresponding to a largest one of the RSSI value or the RSRP value multiplied by the different weight values based on the combination ratio as the operation frequency band, and

wherein the selecting based on the second mode further comprises:

receiving, from a management server, information on at least one neighbor cell, and

updating the neighbor cell list based on the information on the at least one neighbor cell, wherein a number of neighbor cells included in the updated neighbor cell list is less than or equal to a threshold number.

6. The first base station of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

identify the operation frequency band by applying a weight value to the channel quality for each of the at least one frequency band, and

wherein the weight value is indicated by a message from the management server.
