Abstract: A base station or a UE may use another base station's carrier-aggregation policy for a cell provided by the other base station as a basis to control handover of the UE from being served by the base station to being served by the other base station. As one example, a first base station may use a second base station's carrier-aggregation policy for at least one of multiple co-located cells provided by the second base station as a basis to control handover of the UE from being served by the first base station to being served by the second base station. As another example, a UE may use a second base station's carrier-aggregation policy for one of multiple co-located cells provided by the second base station as a basis to control cell reselection.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for managing signaling in a communication network. A paging controller determines one or more target coverage areas to attempt a paging request for a wireless communication device (WCD) based on (i) a coverage area last serving the WCD (“last known coverage area”) and (ii) an amount of time passed since the WCD last transitioned from a connected state to an idle state in the last known coverage area (“the idle duration”). The paging controller can utilize a database that specifies, on a per WCD basis, one or more records of associated data items for different last known coverage areas, idle durations, and target coverage areas. With knowledge of a last known coverage area and idle duration for a WCD, database record(s) can be identified and target coverage area(s) can be determined. A paging request can then be transmitted to the determined target coverage area(s).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and corresponding system for dynamically updating a handover-scan-list maintained by a base station. In an example communication system comprising a first base station arranged to serve user equipment devices (UEs) on one or more carrier frequencies and a second base station arranged to maintain a handover-scan-list of carrier frequencies to which UEs served by the second base station can hand over, the first base station may process handover of a UE from being served by the first base station to being served by the second base station. During processing of the handover, the first base station may provide for receipt by the second base station a message indicating at least one carrier frequency on which the first base station is operating. In response to receiving the message, the second base station may then update the handover-scan-list to include the at least one carrier frequency.
