    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to address inter-cell interference in a heterogeneous network. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed, comprising: a coordinating node situated between a radio access network and a core network; and a first base station in the radio access network in communication with the coordinating node, wherein: the coordinating node has a coordinating scheduler with a first scheduling period; the first base station has a first base station scheduler with a second scheduling period shorter than the first scheduling period; the coordinating scheduler is configured to send a resource reservation list and a resource restriction list to the first base station scheduler once during each first scheduling period; and the first base station is configured to receive the resource reservation list and the resource restriction list and to use the resource reservation list and the resource restriction list when performing mobile device resource scheduling.

    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.

    Abstract: A method for enabling configuration at a base station may be provided by reading configuration information for a configuration wireless network at a cellular base station with Wi-Fi capability, where the configuration information may include a known Wi-Fi service set identifier (SSID). The method may further require synchronizing the configuration information with a coordination server and periodically scanning for the known Wi-Fi SSID in a non-access point (AP) mode. Additionally, the method may further require authenticating, at the coordination server, another device acting as an access point (AP) using RADIUS authentication and connecting to the known Wi-Fi SSID generated by the another device, the another device receiving the known Wi-Fi SSID from the coordination server. The method further includes establishing a secure network protocol connection between the base station and the another device for performing operational configuration of the base station, and authenticating the another device at the coordination server.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting transmit power in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes identifying a selected base station with a first coverage area for adjustment of transmit power; identifying a plurality of neighboring base stations with coverage areas nearby the first coverage area; retrieving a plurality of signal strength measurements from a plurality of mobile devices within the coverage areas of the plurality of neighboring base stations; determining, based on the plurality of measurements, an effect on the plurality of mobile devices within the coverage areas of the plurality of neighboring base stations; and sending an instruction for adjustment of transmit power to the selected base station.
