    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 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.
