    Abstract: A method is described, comprising: creating, at a coordinating server, a user page cache table, the user page cache table associates a user equipment (UE) identifier with a last known location of the UE and a virtual base station instance; creating, at the coordinating server, a neighbor relation table, the neighbor relation table associates each cell to neighbor cells; receiving, at the coordinating server from a core network, a paging message for a user equipment (UE), the paging message comprises a tracking area identity (TAI), the UE identifier, and the virtual base station instance; querying, at the coordinating server, in the user page cache table based on the UE identifier received in the paging message to identify the virtual base station instance and the last known location; forwarding, from the coordinating server to the last known location of the UE, the paging message based on the queried last known location.

    Abstract: This disclosure introduces an advancement to the error indication message to provide detailed information about errors in configurations that are arriving from the Layer 2 to the Layer 1. A method is disclosed, comprising: performing physical layer control (PHY) of a wireless signal at a Layer 1 (L1) software module; performing medium access control (MAC) of the wireless signal at a Layer 2 (L2) software module; providing an application programming interface between the L1 software module and the L2 software module for receiving L1 configuration messages and providing error codes to the L2 software module; receiving a L1 configuration message at a Layer 1 software module; and providing an enhanced error code progressively from a L1 software module to the Layer 2 (L2) software module.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing software provisioning of functionality in a wireless communications device. Software-enabling functionality may include systems for granting a license to intellectual property or other pre-embedded functionality within a device. Communications to and from the device may be used to send or receive activation messages and/or licensing messages. Network capabilities may be provisioned using activation messages sent over the network. Activation messages may be sent in-band or out-of-band, for a device connected to the Internet and/or a mobile operator core network. Licenses may be required for any functions or intellectual property present on a given device. Activation may enable logical modules of a system-on-chip (SOC), functions of a software-defined radio (SDR), baseband, or DSP core. The disclosed systems and methods could thereby provide a new, flexible paradigm, namely, “Silicon as a Service (SaaS).”

    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: Systems and methods are disclosed for permitting higher transmit power at a mobile device. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving, at a base station, an emergency request from a mobile device; sending, from the base station to a neighboring base station, a high power reservation message to reserve one or more radio resource blocks at the neighboring base station for non-use; and sending, from the base station to the mobile device, a resource allocation including the one or more radio resource blocks and a power control message requesting high transmit power.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing high resolution timing advance estimation based on Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). An example method includes receiving a preamble signal r(n); performing signal conditioning on r(n); down sampling the signal and performing antialiasing filtering to provide a y(n) signal; correlating y(n) with a reference preamble with a reference preamble sequence c(n) to provide correlation output Ryc; using a peak value P of the correlation output Ryc to detect a preamble ID and a timing advance; constructing a sequence s(n) by segmenting r_centered(n) for length L around an index P*24; performing time domain interpolation of c(n) around index P to obtain a sequence c_interpolated(n); performing time domain interpolation between sequences s(n) and c_interpolated(n); detecting a peak position Q of the correlation; and deriving TA as P*24−L/2+q in terms of Ts.
