    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of managing resources in a cell cluster of a wireless network is disclosed. The cell cluster comprises a plurality of cells, each cell having an inner region and an outer region. The method comprises: setting, for each cell, a power ratio, the power ratio being the ratio of the power level to be used for transmission of signals to wireless devices located in the inner region of that cell to the power level to be used for transmission of signals to wireless devices located in the outer region of that cell; allocating network resources from a plurality of network resources to wireless devices located in the outer regions; for each cell, allocating network resources to wireless devices located in the inner region of that cell from network resources of the plurality of network resources that are not allocated to wireless devices located in the outer region of that cell; receiving, for each cell, indications of a first data throughput rate for transmission of data to the wireless devices located in the outer regions; comparing, for each cell, the first data throughput rate with a threshold data rate; and decreasing the power ratio for cells in which the first data throughput rate is less than the threshold data rate.

    Abstract: Management of receiver sensitivity in a packet based wireless communication system is achieved by controlling a clear channel sensing process which determines if the channel is clear for use, governed by a sensitivity to use of the channel. The sensitivity of the clear channel sensing process is effected by monitoring transmission performance over a plurality of emissions, and making adjustments to the sensitivity based on comparison of that performance with a performance criterion.

    Abstract: A method for allocating communication channels to access points in a communications network comprising: identifying, amongst the access points, one or more interference-prone pairs of access points, wherein each interference-prone pair comprises a first access point and a second access point that are currently using the same or overlapping communication channels to communicate with their respective client user devices, determining the number N of non-overlapping channels that are available for allocating to the access points; allocating the N non-overlapping channels between the access points in such a way as minimise the number of interference-prone pairs of access points; and where an access point cannot be allocated any one of the N channels without it comprising part of an interference-prone pair, selecting a particular one of the N channels to allocate to the access point based on a selection criterion.

    Abstract: Allocation of terminal stations to communications channels is carried out on the basis of a selection criterion. Allocation takes account of whether the terminal station is in an edge region of a cell. If so, then the list of terminal stations to be allocated is modified, to account for any interference risk from other base stations.

    Abstract: A controller for allocating a radio resource block to a user device in a cell of a cellular network, includes a device for identifying a plurality of edge user devices within range of a first base station, a device for identifying, from the plurality of edge user devices, a first edge user device with which the first base station intends to communicate and a second edge user device presently communicating with a second base station in a neighboring cell, and a device for allocating a communication channel to the first edge user device by assigning a resource block for communications between the first edge user device and first base station. The resource block is one that will provide the highest transmission rate for the first edge user device, while differing from any resource blocks already allocated for communication between the second edge user device and the second base station.

    Abstract: In a 3GPP LTE-A support for Mobile Type Communications, that is, M2M communications scheme, improvements of the random access are necessary to prevent random channel overload. Enhanced backoff in the presence of overload is such a mechanism, Counting the number of devices seeking RACH based on the number of received random access requests or else responses, and allocating Random Access resources on the basis of the number of requests, is another. Further, a channel aware resource allocation approach provides a way of determining, from the received requests, delay-tolerance of the M2M devices, based on which they are prioritized in accessing the random channel. Even within the prioritized devices, a smaller subset thereof may be prioritized further, according to radio conditions, to provide better access to those with higher SNR RBs.

    Abstract: In one embodiment a method of identifying interference in a wireless network is disclosed. The wireless network comprises a first base station and a second base station. The method comprises detecting an increase in an error rate in a wireless connection between the first base station and a first wireless device; comparing a reference signal power received by the first wireless device from the first base station with a threshold value; and determining that the increase in error rate is due to interference from a wireless connection between the second base station and a second wireless device if the reference signal power is greater than the threshold.
