    摘要: Provided are methods and apparatus for selecting a channel to use for communicating. The methods and apparatus select a channel having the least interference and minimize a number of different channels in use. For example, a provided method includes calculating a utility value for each channel in a plurality of channels by weighting, based on a number of the neighborhood small cells (NSC) using each channel in the plurality of channels, both a respective modified non-NSC received signal strength indication (RSSI) and a respective modified reference signal received power (RSRP). The non-NSC RSSI is calculated by subtracting a respective RSRP from a total RSSI. The respective modified RSRP for each channel in the plurality of channels is calculated by applying the respective RSRP to a cumulative distribution function. The channel having the highest or the lowest utility value is chosen as the channel to use for the communicating.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for physical cell identifier (PCI) and physical random access channel (PRACH) offset joint planning by a network entity that determines an energy level for each of a plurality of PRACH frequency offsets and selects a PRACH frequency offset from the plurality of PRACH frequency offsets, based at least in part on the determined energy levels. The network entity determines a plurality of possible physical cell identifiers (PCIs) for the selected PRACH frequency offset and selects a PCI from the plurality of possible PCIs.

    摘要: A base station includes a base unit and a plurality of remote antenna units (RAUs). Each of the RAUs includes a physical layer circuit (PHY). The PHYs are configured to each use the same physical layer identifier, but each PHY includes its own hardware for supporting users in the coverage area of that PHY. The base unit controls resource allocation for the RAUs to increase the capacity of the base station and/or reduce interference between PHYs.

    摘要: Described herein are techniques for radio technology selection and power calibration in multi-RAT small cells. For example, the technique may involve determining, at an access point, path loss information for a circuit switched fallback failure location. The technique may involve building a path loss database over a time period from the path loss information and managing power or operation mode of a first RAT and a second RAT of the access point based on the path loss database.
