摘要： Apparatus and methods for synchronizing a network element (e.g. access points, femtocells, etc.) to a master network (such as a cellular network) to provide accurate frequency and/or time references for their internal systems. In one embodiment, the network element utilizes a dedicated receiver (or transceiver) to receive timing information from the master network. The implementation of the dedicated receiver is advantageous for cost and simplicity reasons. Furthermore, the timing or frequency information, as received from the master network, is used to correct the network element's internal timing. In addition, the network element's internal timing can operate in open-loop mode, if no master network can be found, thereby allowing for the device to continue providing service to network users. Additionally, a dedicated receiver can also receive information (e.g. location, SID, NID, SSID, etc.) local to the network element, such information may be useful or required for seamless operation within the master network.

摘要： A self-organizing wireless network (SON) includes a plurality of base stations. Each base station includes a SON component for coordinating radio resource allocation with other base stations and a radio resource management component for accepting an allocation from the SON component and managing usage of that allocation for end user equipment associated with its base station. The base stations provide access to a plurality of end user equipment. The SON may include a server for communicating with the SON component for coordinating of radio resource allocation. The self-organizing wireless network may include a central control for communicating with the SON component for coordinating of radio resource allocation. Coordinating of radio resources relates to physical channels, transmit power, spatial resource allocation, admission control, load balancing, coordinating network elements in groups and includes adapting to addition of and reduction of network elements in a group in real time.

摘要： Systems, apparatus, and methods for controlling cell activation state. Cellular service providers (CSPs) experience fluctuating levels of demand throughout the day and across different segments (business, consumers). While CSPs can augment their cellular coverage carriers with additional capacity carriers, doing so comes with increased energy and cost. Ideally, CSPs would like to dynamically adapt capacity to accommodate the service demand. Various embodiments of the present disclosure enable an energy savings rApp (non-real-time remote application) that leverages AI base learning and RAN programmability to predict increased traffic. By enabling RAN pre-emptively, the cellular network can ensure user quality of service (QOS) while still minimizing energy consumption.

摘要： Techniques for data offload using various distributed network architectures are disclosed. In some embodiments, wireless communications, specifically, system architectures and their implementation of distributed network architectures that can be used to effectively offload the data from the centralized cellular core networks are disclosed. For example, techniques for data offload using a distributed network architecture can be applied to heterogeneous networks (HetNet) that can include macrocells, picocells, femtocells, remote radio heads, and/or access points, and in one or more layers.
