Abstract
A method and apparatus allocates a Physical Cell Identifier (PCID) in a wireless communication system by considering a PCID reuse factor. An allowable PCID list is acquired from a server. A set of candidate PCIDs is determined from the allowable PCID list according to PCID allocation conditions. A received signal strength of each cell using the determined set of candidate PCID is determined. At least one PCID is selected by using a PCID reuse factor and the received signal strength of each of the cells using the determined set of candidate PCIDs.
