    Abstract: A wireless access point uses both Carrier Aggregation (CA) and Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO). In the wireless access point, processing circuitry determines when Radio Frequency (RF) signal strength for a User Equipment (UE) exceeds a CA threshold. Transceiver circuitry transfers data to the UE over wireless CA links when the RF signal strength exceeds the threshold. The transceiver circuitry transfers data to the UE over different wireless links when the RF signal strength does not exceed the threshold. The processing circuitry determines MU-MIMO load on the wireless access point. The processing circuitry increases the CA threshold when the MU-MIMO load increases. The processing circuitry decreases the CA threshold when the MU-MIMO load decreases.

    Abstract: An LTE base station to facilitate identification of uplink interference serves a plurality of UE devices and one or more relay nodes. The LTE base station is configured to identify a first scheduling group comprising the plurality of UE devices and a second scheduling group comprising the one or more relay nodes based on LTE registration data, allocate uplink resource blocks by scheduling a first portion of the uplink resource blocks at one end of a channel spectrum to the UE devices in the first scheduling group and scheduling a second portion of the uplink resource blocks at the other end of the channel spectrum to the one or more relay nodes in the second scheduling group, and monitor for interference in the second portion of the uplink resource blocks to determine if the interference is associated with the one or more relay nodes in the second scheduling group.
