A method for allocating corresponding identity (ID) to each of a plurality of
base
station controllers (BSC) and each of a plurality of base transceiver stations
(BTS) in an international mobile telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000) system including
the plurality of BSCS, the plurality of BTSs and an OMC (OMC=operating and maintenance
center) for managing the plurality of BSCs and the plurality of BTSs includes the
steps of: by the OMC, determining if system initialization is performed; if the
system initialization is not performed, going to the step a), otherwise by the
OMC, transmitting BSC ID allocation data to all the BSCs coupled to the OMC and
allocating corresponding specific BSC identities (IDs) and corresponding group
IDs to all BSCs; by each of the plurality of BSCs, receiving the BSC ID allocation
data from the OMC and recognizing a corresponding specific BSC ID and a corresponding
group ID allocated to each BSC by analyzing the BSC ID allocation data; by each
of the plurality of BSCs, transmitting BTS ID allocation data to all BTSs coupled
to each BSC and allocating corresponding specific BTS IDs to all the BTSs; and
by each of the plurality of BTSs, receiving the BTS ID allocation data from the
BSC and recognizing corresponding specific BTS IDs allocated to each BTS by analyzing
the BTS ID allocation data.
