The self-consistent semimicroscopic fully quantum approach developed recently for describing the structure of the inner crust of a neutron star within the Wigner-Seitz method is used to perform a systematic calculation of the properties of the system under study. Only the lowest layers of the crust in the vicinity of the point where a phase transition to a uniform state occurs are excluded from our consideration. Use is made of a realistic microscopic model that treats pairing in neutron matter with allowance for corrections of many-body theory to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approximation.
