    摘要: According to some embodiments, a method for use in a first spectrum access system (SAS) server of authorizing spectrum access comprises: receiving, from a second SAS, information about one or more priority access license (PAL) protection areas (PPAs) served by the second SAS; receiving a spectrum grant request on behalf of one of a first PPA or a first general authorized access (GAA) user; determining whether granting the spectrum grant request may interfere with a second PPA geographically proximate the one of the first PPA or the first GAA user, wherein the second PPA is served by the second SAS; and granting or denying the spectrum grant request based at least in part on the interference determination. The interference determination may comprise modeling the radio environment within the second PPA and surrounding areas based on the spectrum grant request to determine whether an aggregate interference level exceeds a threshold.

    摘要: A method for achieving efficient usage of communication resources in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and a Radio Access Network (RAN), and a system executing the method are disclosed. The method comprises performing, by a user equipment (UE), measurements on a signal received from a WLAN control node, sending the measurements from the UE to a RAN control node, and sending, from the RAN control node to the UE, an instruction to send a probe signal to the WLAN control node. The method further comprises performing, by the WLAN control node, measurements on the probe signal, and determining whether or not the UE should be granted access to the WLAN.

    摘要: The present disclosure presents method, network nodes and computer program for improving a dual band user equipment, UE/STA, mobility from a first access node, e.g. an eNB, arranged to operate according to a first radio access technology to at least one second access node, e.g. a WLAN AP, arranged to operate according to a second radio access technology. A communications interface is arranged for direct communication between the first access node and the respective second access node. The method, as performed in the first access node, comprises retrieving (S32) resource management related information of the second access node relevant for the user equipment UE/STA over the communications interface. Radio resources provided to the dual-mode user equipment, UE/STA, by both the first and the second access node, are coordinately controlled (S33), over the communications interface, based on the retrieved resource management related information and internal resource management related information for the first node.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a network-instructed handover of a wireless device from a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) to a Radio Access Network (RAN) of another Radio Access Technology (RAT), e.g., a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) or 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) RAT. In one embodiment, a WLAN access node determines that a handover of a wireless device from the WLAN to another RAN of a different RAT is to be performed and transmits a handover instruction to the wireless device that instructs the wireless device to perform a handover from the WLAN to a RAN of a different RAT. In this manner, the WLAN access node is able to steer the wireless device from the WLAN to a RAN of a different RAT.
