Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, perform operations comprising: identifying a first plurality of cells as a controlled group of cells; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, an average number of allocated physical resource blocks; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, a total number of physical resource blocks available to carry payload traffic; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, a metric equal to: (a) the average number of allocated physical resource blocks of the cell divided by (b) the total number of physical resource blocks of the cell available to carry payload traffic; and performing a load balancing of the controlled group of cells based upon the metric. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Distribution of traffic to cells in a communication network can be controlled. A distribution management component (DMC) can determine overall device traffic throughput for cells of a sector that satisfy a defined traffic throughput criterion relating to a harmonic mean of the device traffic throughput for the cells to desirably enhance or maximize the harmonic mean of the overall device traffic throughput. Based on the overall device traffic throughput for the cells, the DMC can determine whether to adjust a characteristic associated with a cell of the cells to facilitate adjusting distribution of device traffic among the cells of the sector to achieve desirable load balancing of traffic by the sector and in the network. Load balancing can be achieved by controlling respective parameters with regard to communication devices that are in idle mode or connected mode to facilitate directing communication devices and associated traffic to desired cells.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, by a network element of a distributed antenna system, a reference signal, an ultra-wideband control channel and a first modulated signal at a first carrier frequency, the first modulated signal including first communications data provided by a base station and directed to a mobile communication device. The instructions in the ultra-wideband control channel direct the network element of the distributed antenna system to convert the first modulated signal at the first carrier frequency to the first modulated signal in a first spectral segment. The reference signal is received at an in-band frequency relative to the control channel. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example a housing defining an open volume therein where the housing includes a connection structure for connecting with a utility structure, a first wireless device contained in the housing where the first wireless device is coupled with a first antenna extending outside of the housing, and a second wireless device contained in the housing where the second wireless device is coupled with a second antenna extending outside of the housing. The first and second wireless devices can be coupled to each other. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a transceiver that converts first modulated channel signals in a first spectral segment to the first modulated channel signals in a second spectral segment based on signal processing of the first modulated channel signals and without modifying the signaling protocol of the first modulated channel signals. The transceiver transmits, via a fiber optic cable, a transmission signal including a first reference signal with the first modulated channel signals in the second spectral segment to a network element of a plurality of network elements of the distributed antenna system for wireless distribution of the first modulated channel signals to mobile communication devices in the first spectral segment. The first reference signal enables the distributed antenna system to reduce a phase error during processing of the first modulated channel signals from the second spectral segment to the first spectral segment.
