Methods and systems are described that incorporate joint network assisted offloading and cross-RAT (Radio Access Technology) user mapping techniques for integrated multi-RAT Het-Nets. Techniques are described for network based offloading and user association methods for multi-tier, multi-RAT HetNets, which account for overall user as well as network utility.
摘要:
A system provides dynamic interference avoidance in integrated multi-radio access technology (RAT) heterogeneous networks (Het-Nets). A multi-mode user equipment accesses mobile communications services using RATs. An integrated node provides a primary cell and at least one secondary ceil to the multi-mode user equipment. Initial radio access technologies (RATs) are assigned to the multi-mode user equipment from among a plurality of RATs for use by the multi-mode user equipment. Quality metrics are collected across the plurality of RATs. RAT assignments are re-evaluated based on the collected quality metrics. To provide dynamic interference mitigation in muiti-RAT Het-Nets, RAT assignments are periodically repartitioned from among the plurality of RATs for use by the multi-mode user equipment based on the re-evaluation of RAT assignments using the collected quality metrics.

摘要:
Methods and devices for optimizing on-time throughput in a wireless network. An enhanced node B (eNodeB) integrating two or more air interfaces schedules transmissions, for a measurement period, over at least one of the two or more air interfaces. The eNodeB estimates, based on the transmissions, a metric of on-time throughput for the user equipment (UE) within the cell, where on-time throughput is a measure of an amount of data that arrives at a destination before a delay threshold has been reached and at a bit-rate greater than or equal to a target bit-rate. The eNodeB then assigns UEs within the cell to an air interface of the two or more air interface to maximize the metric of on-time throughput for the UEs within the cell.

摘要:
A technology for a user equipment (UE) is disclosed that is operable in an anchor-booster architecture of a multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) heterogeneous network (HetNet). Control information to an anchor cell can be transmitted from a wireless wide area network (WWAN) node in the multi-RAT UE. Data packets of the multi-RAT UE can be selected for transmission via one of the WWAN node and a wireless local area network (WLAN) node in the multi-RAT UE using a multi-RAT coordination function (MRCF) module. Each data packet from one of the WWAN node and the WLAN cell can be transmitted to a multi-RAT small cell evolved node B (SC-eNode B) based on the selection by the MRCF module.

A method and apparatus to manage interference in a multi-cellular network is disclosed. This approach uses downlink power control to allow a serving femto access point of a plurality of femto access points to transmit signals at a first power level to ensure a quality of service level of a service provided to a first plurality of mobile stations served by the plurality of femto access points. This approach also uses the downlink power control to adjust a power level of the signals transmitted by a serving femto access point of the plurality of the femto access points to manage interference caused by the serving femto access point on a second plurality of mobile stations served by one or more macro base stations.
摘要:
Embodiments of a base station and method for reducing asynchronous interference in a multi-tier OFDMA overlay network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a lower-tier base station is configured to adjust OFDMA frame boundaries to cause frames communicated by a higher-tier to arrive within a cyclic prefix at the lower-tier base station. The lower-tier base station may also be configured to adjust OFDMA frame boundaries to cause frames communicated by a lower-tier of the network to arrive within a cyclic prefix at a higher-tier mobile station. Accordingly, frames from one tier may arrive within the cyclic prefix of another thereby reducing asynchronous interference.
摘要:
A technology for a user equipment (UE) in a multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) heterogeneous network (HetNet) that is operable to provide node-selection measurement information to a central controller. Node-selection measurement information can be determined at the UE for a plurality of nodes in the multi-RAT HetNet. The node-selection measurement information can be communicated from the UE to the central controller. A multi-RAT HetNet node grouping assignment can be receive for the UE from the central controller based on the node-selection measurement information.

An embodiment of a method for user equipment feedback of performance metrics during dynamic radio switching is disclosed. The method may include the UE receiving an indication to switch from a first radio associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) of a communication system to a second radio associated with a second RAT of the communication system. The UE transmits the performance metrics to the second radio and switches from a first radio of the plurality of radios to a second radio of the plurality of radios, the first radio associated with the first RAT and the second radio associated with the second RAT.
