    摘要: This disclosure describes a method to provide stateful geographic redundancy for the LTE MME (Mobility Management Entity) function of the 3GPP E-UTRAN Evolved Packet core (EPC). The method provides MME many-to-one (“n:1”) stateful redundancy by building upon the S1-Flex architecture, which enables a MME Pool Area to be defined as an area within which a UE (User Equipment) may be served without need to change the serving MME. Geographic redundancy is achieved by utilizing a standby MME node deployed to backup a pool of MME nodes, with the standby MME node designed to handle the large volume of journaling or synchronization messages from all the MME nodes in the pool. The standby MME node takes over the personality and responsibility of any MME node in the pool that has failed, with minimal impact to subscribers that were being served by that failed MME node.

    摘要: An adaptive power tiered cell includes inner and outer tiers. Each one of a plurality of communication channels for servicing mobile terminals operating within the cell is assigned to either the inner tier or the outer tier. When a switch of one of the channels assigned to serve mobile terminals operating in a first one of the inner and outer tiers to serving mobile terminals operating in the other one of the first and second tiers is detected, the inner at tier is re-sized such that a ratio of the area of the first tier to the area of the cell matches a ratio of the number of channels serving mobile terminals operating in the inner tier to the number of channels serving mobile terminals operating in the cell. To re-size the inner tier such that a ratio of the area of the inner tier to the area of the cell matches a ratio of the number of channels serving mobile terminals operating in the inner tier to the number of channels serving mobile terminals operating in the cell, a power level threshold value which defines an outer peripheral edge of the inner tier is adjusted.

    摘要: A Dynamic Frequency Association (“DFA”) techniques comprising fixed channel allocation (“FCA”) and distributed channel borrowing techniques using a segregation scheme is described. The DFA technique can be used autonomously to dynamically determine the best channels for a cell cluster. Additionally, a method of minimizing search delays at channel assignment by employing a channel usage history is disclosed. In one aspect, as in FCA, each cell is assigned its nominal channels, if any, from the available frequency spectrum, with a fixed radio assigned to each of these frequencies, respectively. Additionally, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, each cell is equipped with one or more radios designated as “DFA radios”. In operation, idle DFA radios scan channels that may be borrowed in order to build a probability matrix. This enables the cell to determine which channels to use for traffic prior to actual channel request by a mobile. This reduces the search delay experienced in classic segregation schemes.

    摘要: Disclosed is an apparatus for reducing the number of control signal channels required in a wireless communication system by using a umbrella control signal to initially communicate with an MS (mobile station) within the umbrella and to assign the MS to a traffic frequency corresponding to one of a plurality of antenna used to cover the area covered by said umbrella control signal. Logic is used in combination with measured relative signal strengths to determine the position of the MS relative to the reliable reception coverage area of each of the plurality of antennas before the assignment is made.
