    Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining an appropriate transmit power of a cell based on a desired coverage distance, comprising: initializing, at a cell, a cell reference signal transmit power at a high power level; broadcasting a cell signal power measure to require a high signal power level for user devices attempting to connect to the cell; progressively lowering the cell signal power measure at the cell; broadcasting the lowered cell signal power measure; deriving a plurality of user equipment (UE) attach request distances based on a plurality of propagation delay statistics derived from UE attach requests received at the cell; comparing the plurality of UE attach request distances against a maximum distance to obtain a number of UE attach requests received from UEs physically located beyond the maximum distance; and setting the cell reference signal transmit power based on the number of UE attach requests received from beyond the maximum distance, thereby iteratively determining an appropriate cell reference signal transmit power based on the maximum distance and on UE attach requests received at the cell.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for an in-vehicle base station are described. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: permitting a mobile device to attach to the mobile base station; attaching, at the mobile base station, to a macro cell for providing backhaul to the mobile device using the mobile base station for access; receiving a first tracking area code from the macro cell; transmitting a second tracking area code to the mobile device, the second tracking area code corresponding to a tracking area managed by a coordinating node; detecting, at the mobile base station, a transition from a stationary state to a moving state of the mobile base station; and sending a tracking area update message to a core network to transition to the tracking area managed by the coordinating node.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for an in-vehicle base station are described. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: broadcasting, using the first access radio, the cellular access network at a first power; transmitting the location of the mobile base station to the cellular network; detecting, at the processor, a transition of the mobile base station from a stationary state to a moving state; reducing, at the first access radio, a transmit power of the cellular access network while in the moving state for disabling the cellular access network outside the vehicle; and increasing, at the first access radio, the transmit power of the mobile base station when exiting the moving state.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced CSFB in a mobile operator core network are described. In one embodiment, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) is disclosed, comprising: directing a UE to move from an original cell using a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second cell using a second RAT to permit a circuit switched (CS) call; terminating the CS call at the second cell; determining whether the UE should reselect to the first RAT; identifying a target cell that may be in a same location as the second cell and that uses the first RAT; and sending the identified target cell to the UE within a field in a radio resource control message.

    Abstract: In this invention, we disclose methods for enabling ad hoc cellular base station functionality within a user equipment when the connection quality between a base station and the user equipment is limited or nonexistent. These methods include measuring a connection quality between a user equipment and its serving base station. If the connection quality is below a threshold, the user equipment can enable its internal ad hoc cellular base station functionality. This is done by running a software within the user equipment that (a) checks the connection quality periodically, and (b) enables ad hoc cellular base station functionality of the connection threshold dips below a certain value. In one embodiment, that threshold could be the same threshold value that a user equipment would use if it were making a decision to handoff to another base station based on poor connection quality.
