Abstract
A network element for a wireless communication system that supports a plurality of access points providing communication in small cells is described. The network element comprises a signal processor arranged to: receive and process information from a plurality of access points wherein the received information identifies a macro cell visible to a respective access point; and calculate a degree of correlation of the information from the at least two access points based at least partly on the processed macro cell information provided by the respective access point.
