    Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a UE device being served by a serving communication station is instructed to transmit an uplink signal in accordance with an uplink signal configuration. The uplink signal configuration information is sent to a non-serving communication station in an inactive state where the non-serving communication station cannot provide wireless service. The uplink signal configuration information allows the non-serving communication station to configure its receiver to receive the up-link signal from the UE. Based, at least in part, on information pertaining to the uplink signal received by the non-serving communication station and then sent to the serving communication station, the serving communication station determines whether the UE device is sufficiently near to the non-serving communication station to receive wireless service from the non-serving communication station, in which case the non-serving communication station is activated.

    Abstract: The examples described herein provide for a Secondary Base Station (SeNB) Change procedure in a system configured to provide Dual Connectivity, where the SeNB Change procedure does not include the RACH procedure. As part of the SeNB Change procedure, a UE device generates a request that the Target Secondary base station (Target SeNB) is to send a Media Access Control (MAC) message to the UE device. In some examples, the request can be configured to specify a particular MAC Control Element that the Target SeNB should send in response to receiving the request. Upon receipt of the request, the Target SeNB transmits the requested MAC message to the UE device, along with TA information, if required. The UE device determines when the SeNB Change procedure has been completed, based at least partially on when the requested MAC message is received from the Target SeNB.

    Abstract: User equipment (UE) devices are identified at a network node by a UE identifier from a UE identifier list and list identification information. A plurality of identical user equipment (UE) identifier lists are maintained at the network node where each UE identifier list is associated with a set of functions. Where a message transmitted from a first network node to a second network node is uniquely associated with a set of functions associated with a UE identifier list, the list identification information is the type of message. Where a message transmitted from a first network node to a second network node is not uniquely associated with a set of functions that pertains to a UE identifier list, the list identification information is a parameter in the message where the parameter is indicative of a UE identifier list.

    Abstract: Uplink signals transmitted from each of a plurality of UE devices being served by a serving eNB are received at a neighbor cell eNB. Information regarding the uplink signals received by the neighbor cell eNB is then sent to the serving eNB. The UE devices are identified based on the information. An aggregate load level of the UE devices is determined based on resource load requirements of each UE device. In some instances, it is determined which of a plurality of deactivated neighbor cells should be activated based on load levels associated with one or more UE devices that are determined to be near each of the plurality of deactivated neighbor cells.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating the mitigation of interference in the uplink of a small cell caused by macrocell user equipment in the case where the macrocell cannot identify the interfering macrocell user equipment because the user equipment cannot detect and report the small cell's downlink due to the small cell's uplink/downlink coverage imbalance. In an embodiment, the small cell provides the macrocell with a notification of the interference, the configuration information about its Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), and a plurality of unique preambles and transmission times for non-contention-based transmissions on the small cell's PRACH. The macrocell orders each of one or a plurality of macrocell user equipment to transmit one of the unique preambles on the small cell's PRACH. The small cell reports to the macrocell the detected preamble transmissions, which allows the macrocell to identify interfering user equipment and perform corrective actions.

    Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a coverage area configuration transition is performed where a compensation service area is expanded to cover at least a portion of an energy saving service area of an energy saving cell employing the same frequency channel as the compensation service area. An energy saving communication station providing the energy saving cell is configured to deactivate the energy saving service area. Handovers to the compensation service area are prepared for the UE devices in the energy saving service area. The energy saving communication station sends a expansion notification to a compensation communication station where the notification at teas!indicates that the compensation service area can be expanded. The energy saving communication station transmits handover commands to the UE devices prior to expansion of the compensation service area and reduction of the energy saving service area.

    Abstract: Where a user equipment (UE) device transfers communication from a first radio access network (RAN) device to a second RAN device, the first RAN device receives a traffic offload indicator indicating that resources being used for data traffic for the UE device through the first RAN device are released because the data traffic communication has been transferred to the second RAN device. The first RAN device provides assistance parameters to the UE device that are determined at least partially based on the information that the data traffic communication has been transferred to the second RAN device. The UE device uses the assistance parameters in determining when to transfer data traffic RAN between the first RAN device and the second RAN device.

    Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a coverage area configuration transition includes incrementally expanding a compensation service area to include at least a portion of an area covered by the energy saving service area. For example, the compensation service area can be expanded to cover a first cell edge of an energy saving service area, and any UE devices located within the first cell edge can be handed over to the compensation service area. After the UE devices in the first cell edge are handed over, the energy saving service area can be reduced such that a second cell edge is created. The process of handing over the additional UE devices to the compensation service area and reducing the energy saving service area can be repeated as many times as necessary to handover all of the UE devices being served by the energy saving service area.

    Abstract: In a cellular communication system, a coverage area configuration transition is performed when it is determined that the resources allocated to a compensation service area have sufficient available capacity to serve one or more UE devices being served by an energy saving service area, A coverage area configuration transition includes reducing the coverage of an energy saving service area and expanding the coverage of a compensation service area. A compensation communication station providing the compensation service area sends a request for a coverage area configuration transition to an energy saving communication station. The energy saving communication station may reject the coverage area configuration transition or may accept it and send an expansion notification to the compensation communication station, where the notification at least indicates that the compensation service area can be expanded.
