Abstract
A method for a cellular telecommunications network includes performing a modulo operation on a physical cell identifier (PCI) of a target cell to determine a first PCI mod value, determining first tier neighbors of the target cell, determining that at least one of the first tier neighbors uses a PCI that has a PCI mod value that is the same as the first PCI mod value, comparing a number of handover attempts between the target cell and the at least one first tier neighbor with the first PCI mod value to a first threshold value, and when the number of handover attempts exceeds the threshold value, replacing the PCI of the target cell with a PCI with a second PCI mod value different from the first PCI mod value.
