    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic allocation of spectrum among cross-interfering radio nodes of wireless communications systems are disclosed. Multiple radio nodes may be deployed within a geographical region, and each radio node may support wireless communication over spectrum in which access is arbitrated by an external service not under the control of the operator of the radio node. Each radio node is configured to detect radio conditions which may indicate coexistence between the radio node and a neighboring radio node. A network entity associated with the radio node obtains radio condition information and determines a coexistence status between the radio node and the neighboring radio node, such as whether coexistence with the neighboring radio node is tolerable or intolerable. The network entity reports an indication of the coexistence status to a spectrum server, and the spectrum server reallocates the spectrum among the radio nodes.

    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 method for hand-in of mobile users into a local RAN, such as UMTS ERAN, deployment are provided. In accordance with various embodiments, a local RAN gateway is utilized to multicast relocation request messages to multiple target ERANs pursuant to the receipt of a measurement report from a user equipment. By virtue of either a pre-configured relocation request acknowledgement or a pair of generated tokens, each of the multiple target ERANs may allocate the appropriate resources for the user equipment to be handed into one of the multiple target ERANs. In accordance with another embodiment, the local RAN gateway additionally multicasts a user equipment uplink layer configuration to each of the multiple target ERANs. In accordance with yet another embodiment, the local RAN gateway receives the timing difference between a current cell and target cell to disambiguate the target cell and corresponding ERAN.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reconfiguration of a communication environment based on loading requirements. Network operations are monitored and analyzed to determine loading balance across the network or a portion thereof. Where warranted, the network is reconfigured to balance the load across multiple network entities. For example, in a cellular-type of network, traffic loads and throughput requirements are analyzed for the access points and their user equipment. Where loading imbalances occur, the cell coverage areas of one or more access points can be reconfigured to alleviate bottlenecks or improve balancing.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described that enable a deployment of a system of wireless nodes, e.g., femtocells, which can self-configure themselves into a balanced and optimized wireless network. In various embodiments, access points switch between a network monitoring mode in which network monitoring is performed and a communications mode in which the access point serves one or more wireless terminals and communicates traffic data to/from the wireless terminals. Traffic data transmission to wireless terminals are not supported in network monitoring mode. Based on information gathered from one or more access nodes while they operating in network monitoring mode of operation, access point configuration information is generated and one or more access points are automatically configured.

    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.
