Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) transmissions by a wireless device may interfere with base station reception of other signals. To mitigate this interference, the wireless device estimates the path loss between itself and the base station. The path loss and the current D2D transmission power level are used to estimate the amount of interference the base station is experiencing as a result of the D2D transmissions from the wireless device. Based on the estimated interference experienced by the base station, the wireless device increases the robustness of the MCS being used and decreases the transmission power level by a corresponding amount. By decreasing the D2D transmission power level, less interference will be experienced by the base station. By increasing the robustness of the MCS, the impact of the reduced D2D transmission power level is mitigated.

Abstract: Access nodes in a network are configured to periodically measure cell loads and exchange cell load measurements with neighbors. At each access node, cell loads are compared with load thresholds, and with neighboring loads, to determine whether or not load balancing operations should be triggered. Load balancing operations include reducing or increasing an effective coverage area of one or both of the congested cell and the neighbor cell by adjusting a handover threshold parameter, such as a threshold signal level. Adjusting thresholds at a congested cell triggers more handovers from the congested cell to the non-congested cell. Similarly, adjusting thresholds at a non-congested cell prevents handovers from the non-congested cell to the congested cell.

Abstract: A first access node receives from a wireless device in communication with the first access node an identifier of a second access node detected by the wireless device. It is determined that a communication link has not previously been established between the first access node and the second access node based on the identifier. The wireless device is instructed to provide a signal level of a signal from the second access node, and when the signal level of the second access node signal meets a criteria, a communication link is established between the first access node and the second access node.

Abstract: A serving access node is determined as being capable of transmitting a mMIMO signal, responsive to which handover parameters are adjusted for wireless devices attached to the serving access node and receiving the mMIMO signal. Wireless devices attached to a sector deployed by a first access node and not the mMIMO signal are configured to utilize different handover parameters such that the non mMIMO wireless devices request handovers using standard signal level thresholds.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for handoff of a wireless device. A total delay budget may be configured to a first access node. Scheduler delays associated with each of multiple scheduling buffers can be measured. An average scheduling delay for multiple wireless devices may be calculated based on the measured scheduler delays. The average scheduling delay may be compared to the total delay budget for the first access node and, when the average scheduling delay exceeds the total delay budget, a second access node may be selected for offload of at least one wireless device of the multiple wireless devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a common subframe pattern in a wireless communication network. Frame numbers associated with a plurality of access nodes operating on the same frequency channel in a coverage area are synchronized. A unique almost blank subframe (ABS) ratio associated with each of the plurality of access nodes is determined. A common subframe pattern may be generated based on the determined unique ABS ratios. The common subframe pattern may be provided to each of the plurality of access nodes operating in the coverage area. Traffic may be scheduled using the generated common subframe pattern and the synchronized frame numbers.

Abstract: Beamforming in massive MIMO networks includes monitoring a signal condition such as pathloss of wireless devices and, based thereon, selecting a type of reference signal for the wireless devices, the type selected from among a non-precoded reference signal, a beamformed reference signal, or a standard reference signal. Further, an MCS of the wireless devices is monitored and, based thereon, the type of reference signal is adjusted.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for load balancing between frequency bands based on bandwidth capacity. A load for a first frequency band and a load for a second frequency band may be determined, wherein a cell communicates with wireless devices over the first and second frequency bands. The determined loads may be adjusted based on a channel width for each frequency band and a duplexing scheme for each frequency band. And the adjusted loads may be balanced between the first frequency band and the second frequency band by instructing wireless devices in communication with the cell to change frequency bands used for communicating with the cell.

Abstract: UEs capable of RF relay are enabled and disabled under certain conditions. The access node can control the on and off duration of the UE functioning as an RF relay. The access node may only enable RF relay when there is a need by another UE for the RF relay. The UEs selected to relay (or to not relay) may be selected based on their location (e.g., close to a UE that is experiencing poor signal strength). In an embodiment, the RF relay function of UEs are successively turned on by the access node. This causes these UEs to relay the access node's beacon signal. If, after a period of time, the wireless network performance is not improved, these UEs are commanded to disable their RF relays. If the wireless network performance is improved, the UE may be allowed to continue as an RF relay.
