Abstract
A pilot power setting method and a femtocell using the same are disclosed. The pilot power setting method is for using in a femtocell which is operated in a closed mode to provide service to a user equipment (UE). The method includes the following steps. A communication link connecting the UE and the femtocell is established. A command is provided to the UE, which returns n items of path loss information to the femtocell in a pre-determined period according to the command, wherein n is a natural number which is greater than 1. A maximum path loss information between the UE and the femtocell is obtained from the n items of path loss information in the pre-determined period. A predicted pilot power is obtained according to the maximum path loss information. A pilot power of the femtocell is set according to the predicted pilot power.
