Abstract: A technology that is operable to select a radio node on a communications network is disclosed. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) is configured with circuitry configured to determine when to offload data traffic of the UE to a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) in a multi-radio access technology (RAT) communications network based on radio access network (RAN) assistance information communicated via the operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) system. A status is identified of one or more WLAN APs in the multi-RAT communications network using the RAN assistance information. A radio node is selected in the cell of the multi-RAT communications network for communication based on selected criteria.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and method for collecting and reporting data related to a coverage area in a wireless network are generally described herein. The eNB may be configured to track geographic bin information for one or more User Equipment (UEs). The eNB may comprise hardware processing circuitry configured to, for each of the UEs, measure an angle of arrival for the UE and a propagation delay for the UE, and to select a geographic bin for the UE from a set of candidate geographic bins. The hardware processing circuitry may be further configured to send, for each of the candidate geographic bins, performance data for the candidate geographic bin to the TCE when a number of UEs for which the candidate geographic bin is selected is not less than a UE distribution threshold.

Abstract: A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to connect to a third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) cell in a cellular network. Logged minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements can be recorded at the UE at a selected rate when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode in a first LTE cell in a cellular network. A change in a UE state of the RRC idle mode can be identified. The Logged MDT measurements can stop being recorded at the UE when the UE state changes from a camped normally UE state to another UE state of the RRC idle mode. The Logged MDT measurements can resume being recorded when the UE state changes to the camped normally UE state of the RRC idle mode.

Abstract: A method and system for managing inter-cell interference for a plurality of neighboring wireless communication cells in a wireless network is disclosed. Power data indicative of a received power level for a signal from the base station for any user equipment in an outer region of a cell is determined by a base station for each of a plurality of neighboring cells. Number data indicating at least one of a number and a relative number of user equipments within the outer region of a cell is also determined by each base station from the timing of a signal between the base station and the user equipment. The power data and the number data is transmitted to a central manager, where the power data and the number data for the cells is processed to compute a power level in each of a plurality of sub-bands for transmission by each base station. The computed power level in each sub-band is transmitted back to each base station for the control of the power level transmitted by the base station in each sub-band.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), shared spectrum controller and methods for communication in shared spectrum are generally described herein. A mobile network shared spectrum controller may operate as part of a domain of a mobile network. A public shared spectrum controller may operate externally to the mobile network domain. The mobile network shared spectrum controller and the public shared spectrum controller may operate cooperatively to perform operations of a shared spectrum controller, such as management of secondary usage of shared spectrum by a group of eNBs. The mobile network shared spectrum controller may obfuscate at least a portion of network configuration information from the public shared spectrum controller to enable maintenance of confidential information within the mobile network domain.
