    Abstract: A communication system is provided. The communication system includes a at least one baseband controller configured to process signals in a baseband frequency band. The communication system also includes at least one radio unit that is physically remote from the at least one baseband controller. Each radio unit includes a plurality of virtual radio units (VRUs) in a physical housing of the respective radio unit. Each radio unit also includes a fronthaul interface configured to communicate with the at least one baseband controller using a packet-based protocol on behalf of each VRU. Each radio unit also includes at least one radio frequency front end unit configured to transmit from and receive on behalf of each of the VRUs.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing priority exceptions for shared spectrum radio services are provided. In one embodiment, a shared spectrum radio services system comprises: a spectrum access system (SAS) configured to adjust transmit power levels of one or more radios, wherein the one or more radios transmit on a protected frequency of a shared spectrum, wherein the SAS is associated with a protection area that comprises at least one dynamic incumbent RF system that transmits on the protected frequency; and wherein the SAS applies a standard transmit expiration time parameter to the one or more radios, the standard transmit expiration time parameter indicating a time of day at which authorization to transmit on the protected frequency expires; and wherein the SAS is configured to execute a transmit expiration parameter exception protocol to override the standard transmit expiration time parameter for at least one of the one or more radios.

    Abstract: A method for selecting at least one channel for a network element in a shared spectrum communication system is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of candidate channels of a frequency band of the shared spectrum communication system. For each channel of the plurality of channels, the method further includes: evaluating the channel based on one or more of a plurality of criteria for the network element; scoring the channel based on the evaluation of the channel for the network element; and ranking the plurality of candidate channels based on the assigned scores for each of the plurality of channels. The method further includes selecting at least one channel based on the ranking of the plurality of candidate channels

    Abstract: A system and method for determining the location of a target mobile device in a communications network. A set of mobile devices in proximity to the target mobile device may be determined (210) as a function of a common parameter of information observed by mobile devices in the set. Measurement data may be shared (220) for the set of mobile devices and the target mobile device, and a location of the target mobile device (230) determined as a function of the shared measurement data. This sharing of measurement data may occur amongst the set of mobile devices and the target mobile device or may also occur at a communication network entity.
