    Abstract: A centrally controlled dynamic frequency selection (DFS) mechanism is defined that uses a historical analytical database to define DFS hop patterns, which allows for a better probability of picking a non-interfering channel but also meets the performance requirements of the mesh and satisfying the timing constraints of DFS. A method for performing dynamic frequency selection (DFS) is disclosed, comprising: receiving, at a gateway, measurement reports from a radio access node regarding observed utilization of a 5 GHz radio frequency band shared with a plurality of radio access nodes; determining, based on the received measurement reports, a frequency hop pattern at the gateway; and sending the frequency hop pattern from the gateway to each of the plurality of radio access nodes, thereby enabling compliance with DFS regulations using a centralized gateway.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed to enhance HNG X2GW node in a way so that it supports the optimized S1-X2 Handovers with loosely coupled SON module. X2GW module in HNG interworks with SON module to provide interface for/towards SON module to update the information required for X2 association management. On receiving cell information from CWS, SON updates the X2GW with additional parameters required for creating/updating X2 association. When SON receives UE measurement report from CWS, it updates the same to X2GW with neighbor information to take further action. For S1-X2 handover where SON has not notified X2GW of neighbor relation between CWS and Macro eNodeB, HNG continues sending Handover over S1. X2GW views SON as a DB which holds Cell Neighbor Related information and keeps updating x2 learnt neighbours using well defined API's towards SON.

    Abstract: A method for congestion mitigation via admission control in a shared-backhaul telecommunications network is disclosed, comprising: assessing a congestion state in a multi-node radio access network having a shared backhaul connection, the congestion state based on congestion of the shared backhaul connection; retrieving an admission control policy based on the congestion state of the shared backhaul connection; performing a policy action of the admission control policy at a first base station acting as a gateway for the multi-node radio access network with respect to the shared backhaul connection; and sending the admission control policy to other nodes in the multi-node radio access network, thereby causing the other nodes to perform the policy action, wherein the policy action is denying a request from a user equipment to attach to the radio access network.
