    Abstract: A radio resource scheduler at a first base station may be configured to: identify radio frequency resources in use by the first base station, identify radio frequency resources to be reserved as virtual guard bands to reduce adjacent band interference, and install virtual guard band rules for reducing interference with adjacent bands. The virtual guard band information may be hints, allocations, priorities, reservations, or scheduling instructions for avoiding certain radio resources, radio resource blocks, or frequencies.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program are disclosed to provide an ad-hoc network of network nodes of caching content at the network nodes. A coordination server performing as a manager or controller determines the network node to cache content for a group of user equipments (UEs) attached to a first base station. The coordination server reassigns the network node that cache the content for the group of UEs when a user equipment (UE) moves from the first base station to a second base station.
