    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for dynamic swapping of uplink and downlink base stations. A user equipment device (UE) may engage in a communication session with a downlink from a first base station (e.g., eNodeB) and an uplink to second, different base station. If a determination is made that more favorable operating conditions for transmitting session communications to the UE are available on a downlink air interface from the second base station than on the downlink air interface from the first base station, the uplink and downlink may be swapped, such that after swapping, the UE may have a downlink from second base station and an uplink to the first base station.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus to use multiple pilot signals of different transmission power levels in a wireless communication system. A base station may broadcast in its coverage area at least two different pilot signals concurrently with each other but at different transmission power levels than each other. One of these pilot signals, transmitted at a normal pilot transmission power level for instance, may be for receipt and evaluation by certain UEs served by the base station, such as UEs that are not set to receive beamformed transmission of bearer traffic from the base station. Whereas another one of these pilot signals, transmitted at an increased pilot transmission power level for instance, may be for receipt and evaluation by other UEs served by the base station, such as UEs that are set to receive beamformed transmission of bearer traffic from the base station.

    Abstract: A method and systems for managing paging congestion are described. A RAN may receive data indicating that a base station located at a particular geographic location is registering with the RAN. Responsive to receiving the data, the RAN may make a determination of whether a number of base stations in a particular tracking area that corresponds with the particular geographic location is greater than a threshold number of base stations. And responsive to making a determination that the number of base stations is greater than the threshold number of base station: the RAN may create a new tracking area having a new tracking area identity (TAI), the RAN may provision the base station with the new TAI rather than the particular TAI, and the RAN may provide the base station with a tracking area list that includes both the new TAI and a particular TAI identifying the particular tracking area.
