FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: carrier for a femtocell is selected from a set of carriers available for femtocells. The femtounit determines order of priority for a set and measures a received signal state (RSS) for each carrier. The femtounit determines a carrier with lowest noise from a set on the basis of RSS for each carrier, then determines the selected carrier for a femtocell by comparison of the carrier RSS with lowest noise to RSS of other carriers in the set. The selected carrier may have RSS, higher than or equal to RSS of the carrier with lowest noise, displaced by the specified value. Such comparisons may be arranged in the order of priority. The set available for femtounits may be a subset of all carriers available to a combination of femtocels and macrocells, and one or more carriers available for femtocells, may also be a carrier available for macrocells.
EFFECT: higher accuracy of selecting a carrier with lowest noise.
