    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving an event notification from a cell in a current set of a user equipment, the event notification indicating an uplink signal strength from the user equipment to the cell relative to a threshold; and designating the cell as being either a viable candidate or not a viable candidate to be a serving cell based on the uplink signal strength relative to the threshold.

    Abstract: A radio node having a primary cell identity and a secondary cell identity operates the two cell identities at the same time. They are localized and occupy the same geographic location, but operate at different frequencies/channels. The primary cell (PCell) may encompass, e.g., one or more channels, e.g., 20 MHz, and the same can act as a coverage layer, providing a stable spectrum for communications, as these channels do not change. The secondary cell (SCell) operates at the same time, and can operate with higher reuse using multiple GAA channels as they are available (their availability may vary as they are dynamically allocated). This layer can act as a “capacity” layer as the multiple GAA channels can allow for high throughput when needed. That is, they are dynamically allocated, but high capacity can be enabled as a high number of such channels may be available at any one time.

    Abstract: Present systems and methods provide ways to provide access services to connecting wireless devices particularly for (but not limited to) neutral host networks. Steps include executing authentication between a connecting wireless device and a service provider, receiving an address of a remote gateway from the service provider, and providing access service for the wireless device including forwarding data received from the wireless device to the indicated remote gateway address in forwarding wireless device associated data received from the remote gateway address to the wireless device. Other ways are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A dual identity cell adapted for use in a small cell RAN includes two identities that may be supported on the same hardware platform—a dedicated PCI (Physical Cell Identity as defined under LTE) identity and a common PCI identity. The dedicated PCI identity operates similarly to a cell in a regular RAN in which neighboring cells use unique PCIs so that user equipment (UE) may distinguish among cells. The dedicated PCI identity, when exposed to the UE, may be used to determine the position of a UE within the RAN so that cells within listening range of the UE are identified. Those identified cells (termed here as the “detected set”) can then transmit the same data and control signals to the UE using their common PCI identities. In this way, all the cells in the detected set appear to the UE as one single cell.

    Abstract translation: 适用于小小区RAN的双重身份单元包括可以在相同硬件平台上支持的两个身份 - 专用PCI(在LTE下定义的物理小区标识)身份和公共PCI身份。 专用PCI身份与常规RAN中的小区类似地运行,其中相邻小区使用唯一的PCI,以便用户设备(UE)可以区分小区。 当暴露给UE时,专用PCI标识可用于确定RAN在RAN内的位置,以便识别UE的监听范围内的小区。 那些识别的小区(这里称为“检测组”)然后可以使用它们的共同的PCI身份向UE发送相同的数据和控制信号。 以这种方式,检测到的集合中的所有小区对于UE来说显示为单个小区。

    Abstract: A radio access network, such as an LTE E-RAN, employs a hierarchical architecture and includes a services node that provides connectivity between the radio nodes in the RAN and a core network. The RAN employs a hybrid coordinated scheduling scheme in which independent schedulers are running on the services node and the radio nodes. In this way the services node can allocate scheduling resources for some of the UEs in the RAN while the radio nodes can allocate scheduling resources for the remaining UEs in their respective serving cells. In some cases a prioritization approach is used in which the radio nodes do not schedule any radio resources that have already been scheduled by the services node.

    Abstract: A method is shown for allocating a plurality of channels to a plurality of radio nodes (RNs) in a radio access network (RAN). In accordance with the method, an initial RN is selected from among the plurality of RNs. A first of the plurality of channels is assigned to the initial RN. The first channel is selected such that external interference experienced by the initial RN from sources other than the RAN on the first channel is minimized. A second RN is selected from among the plurality of RNs. A second of the plurality of channels is assigned to the second RN. The second channel is selected such that a metric reflective of an information carrying capacity of the RNs that have already been assigned one of the plurality of channels is maximized. The assigned channels are allocated to the respective RNs to which they have been assigned.

    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.
