    Abstract: A method for congestion control at an eNodeB is described, comprising detecting congestion at an eNodeB and entering a congestion control mode, receiving, at the eNodeB, a new user equipment (UE) connection request that contains a radio resource control (RRC) establishment cause, and using the RRC establishment cause for identifying a congestion management strategy, the congestion management strategy comprising one of initiating a handover for an existing LTE bearer, or redirecting the new UE connection request to a 3G nodeB.

    Abstract: A heuristic approach to configuration and/or planning for wireless networks is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, statistics relating to mobile device cell usage are collected and monitored. The statistics may include UE measurements (RSRP/RSRQ), UE location, number of connection requests, duration of connectivity, average traffic load associated with the users, channel utilization, and other statistics. Based on statistical analysis of the data collected, neural network analysis, data fitting, or other analysis, adjustments to cell coverage parameters such as handover thresholds, inactivity timer values, contention window size, inter-frame duration, transmit power, DRX cycle duration, or other parameters may be identified.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for improved tracking area planning and handling, comprising: assigning a single tracking area code to a plurality of eNodeBs at a messaging concentrator gateway, the messaging concentrator gateway situated in a network between the plurality of eNodeBs and the core network; storing, at the messaging concentrator gateway, at least one indicator of a last known location of a user equipment (UE) other than the single tracking area code; receiving a paging message from the core network at the messaging concentrator gateway for a UE; and performing a paging sequence using the at least one indicator to identify a set of eNodeBs to page the UE, thereby allowing larger tracking area list sizes to be used without increasing signaling traffic between the radio access network and the core network.
