Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for enabling wireless communication devices in a cellular wireless network to utilize small cells having coverage within a macro cell are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) can detect the need for using a booster providing a small cell, detect availability of small cells and submit a request to infrastructure of the cellular wireless network to aid in connection with the booster that provides the small cell. The request can be enhanced with small cell location queries, small cell activation requests and/or assistance data to enable meaningful small cell selection.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of dynamic allocation of radio resources. For example, a resource allocator may dynamically allocate to a plurality of nodes of a cellular network non-cellular radio resources for communication over a plurality of non-cellular wireless communication links, the resource allocator may be configured to assign the non-cellular radio resources to a plurality of resource blocks corresponding to a plurality of link types, and to dynamically allocate to a non-cellular wireless communication link resources from a resource block corresponding to a link type of the non-cellular wireless communication link.
Abstract:
An embodiment for a method for activation of customer care measurement operations is disclosed. The method may include an infrastructure generating customer care configuration parameters, a base station transmitting the customer care configuration parameters to a mobile device, the infrastructure receiving from the mobile device in response to the customer care configuration parameters a request for customer care measurements operations and/or customer care measurement results. In one embodiment the customer care measurement configuration is realized by means of MDT (Minimization of Drive Test) measurement configuration. In another embodiment the customer care measurement operations comprise MDT (Minimization of Drive Test) measurements.
Abstract:
Traffic engineering functionalities are described in a heterogeneous network that includes an anchor base station serving a cellular macro cell and booster base stations serving mmWave enabled small cells. The described functionalities are designed to cope with dynamic changes in the heterogeneous environment such as loss of a backhaul link between the anchor base station and the booster base station, loss of a link between a terminal and one of the base stations, and loss of beam forming in a mmWave link between the terminal and the booster base station.
Abstract:
Technology and techniques to page mobile devices and establish connections between mobile devices and small cell base stations in a heterogeneous network (HetNet.) A macro base station pager may transmit an enhanced paging message, the enhanced paging message to include an indication that the paging message may be answered through a small cell base station. A small cell base station configurator may transmit configuration information to the small cell base station. The small cell base station may transmit a beacon and a mobile device may establish a relay connection with the small cell base station to connect the mobile device to the macro base station through the small cell base station based at least in part upon the beacon. Furthermore, a macro base station backhauler may establish a backhaul connection with the small cell base station to communicate signals with the small cell base station related to the relay connection.
