Abstract: A method of coordinating a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) includes aggregating, with a gateway, communications interfaces between a plurality of RANs and a packet core network through the gateway. A plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in each of the RANs is communicatively coupled to the gateway and to user equipment (UE) devices associated with the RNs in each of the RANs. The gateway also controls and coordinates mobility of the UE devices within and among the RANs. In addition, the gateway acts as a virtual enhanced NodeB (eNB) to the packet core network, thereby hiding the aggregated communications interfaces from the packet core network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically selecting and adjusting energy detection thresholds (EDTs) in uncoordinated radio nodes deploying Listen Before Talk to improve throughput on shared spectrum are disclosed. The uncoordinated radio nodes dynamically adjust an EDT to avoid harmful collisions with neighboring radio nodes or otherwise improve throughput over shared spectrum. A radio node can detect a collision or radio frequency (RF) interference from a neighboring radio node. Once the collision or RF interference is detected, the EDT of the radio node is dynamically adjusted. In some cases, the collision or RF interference can be avoided by calculating a throughput of the radio node while operating on each of a plurality of EDTs and selecting the EDT predicted to result in a higher throughput. In other cases, the EDT may be dynamically adjusted based on an iterative approach which incorporates measurements of the neighboring radio node.

Abstract: Method for assigning downlink transmit power levels to radio nodes (RNs) in a small cell radio access network (RAN) includes assigning initial power levels to the RNs. For each cell, first events are counted indicating that UEs receiving a signal from their serving cells with a signal strength below a specified value have entered a coverage hole. For each cell, second events are counted indicating that UEs have re-established a previous connection on one of the cells. For each pair of cells, a coverage hole is identified between them if the number of first events for one cell exceeds a threshold and a number of second events or re-establishment of a previous connection on the other cell exceeds another threshold. For each identified coverage hole, downlink transmit power level is increased of at least one RN in the pair of cells between which the coverage hole is identified.

Abstract: A method for assessing an impact of a design choice on a system level performance metric of a radio access network (RAN) deployed in an environment includes receiving messages from a plurality of UEs over time by a plurality of RNs in the RAN. A design choice is selected for a set of operating parameters of the RAN.

A system level performance metric is determined as a function of the computed set of derivatives.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing an aggregated self-organizing network (A-SON). In such, a plurality of small cells is grouped into clusters using available topology information. In one implementation, a subset of clusters is assigned to groups of a first type, such that the clusters within a group of the first type have minimal RF connectivity. For example, scanning or updating of RF parameters may then be coordinated such that adjacent clusters do not scan or update simultaneously but clusters within groups of the first type do have at least partially overlapping scans or updates. Similarly, subsets of clusters may be assigned to first and second groups of a second type, such that the clusters within a first group of the second type have sufficient coverage to provide RF connectivity to clusters within the second group, if the second group encounters a service interruption. Other benefits are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed detect significant changes in the RN topology after an E-RAN system has been installed and provisioned. If a significant change is detected, the operator is notified through an alarm, and the operator can take action to correct it. For example, an RN whose location was moved may be disabled. Alternatively, the movement operation may be approved and the alarm cleared so long as the operation falls within certain approved guidelines or categories, e.g., is appropriately reported and a new location noted.

Abstract: Discovery of a neighbor radio access system by a user mobile communications device serviced in a radio access network (RAN) for reporting to a serving system in the RAN. User mobile communications device serviced by a RAN is configured to scan one or more frequency ranges (e.g., bands) to discover other neighbor radio access systems. This is opposed to, for example, the user mobile communications device only searching for transmitted communications signals at specific center frequency (e.g., an EARFCN). There may be other radio access systems that operate neighbor cells and in other frequency bands in proximity the RAN serving the user mobile communications device. Discovered neighboring radio access systems can be reported by the user mobile communications device to its serving RAN in a measurement report, which can then be used by the serving RAN for other functionalities, such as trigger handovers of user mobile communications device for example.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide a closed loop power control system including adaptively adjusting the desired target SINR over time so as to ultimately achieve a feasible SINR. In one implementation, a method is provided of optimizing uplink closed loop power control in a RAN in which one or more base stations each service a plurality of mobile stations, including: determining a power level for each mobile station for its respective uplink transmissions, including measuring a current achieved SINR for each mobile station; and for each mobile station, adjusting the power level to be sufficiently high to meet desired transmission characteristics but not so high as to cause unnecessary interference with transmissions from other mobile stations, by adjusting a desired target SINR based on factors selected from the following: current and prior achieved SINRs, current and prior interference measurements, and current and prior transmission power control commands.
