Abstract: Low-power access points are used to identify traffic congestion zones in a network. The low-power access points collect metrics that are used identify high demand areas. The locations of the traffic congestion zones are then determined based on the locations of the low-power access points that identified high demand. In some embodiments, metrics are collected and processed in a distributed fashion at each femtocell. Each femtocell then outputs an indication of high demand in the area and/or takes action to address the high demand at an identified traffic congestion zone. Alternatively, the femtocells may collectively take action to address the high demand at one or more identified traffic congestion zones. In other embodiments, metrics may be collected from the femtocells at a central entity and processed to identifying any traffic congestion zones near the femtocells, whereby the central entity takes appropriate action to address the high demand.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing access point measurements to restricted access points. Restricted access points can lessen restrictions to allow devices to register with the restricted access point for providing measurements thereto. Additionally or alternatively, access point measurements can be provided to a minimization of drive tests (MDT) server for providing to the restricted access points. Thus, restricted access points can obtain the access point measurements for performing enhanced interference management or other functionality based at least in part on the measurements.

Abstract: According to some wireless network standards the size of a neighbor cell list is restricted to a maximum size. The limited size of a neighbor cell list may not reflect the realities of a wireless network deployment, especially for deployments including numerous femto cells clustered in close proximity. Accordingly, as the concentration of macro cells and/or femto cells in an area increases, there lies a challenge to identify and communicate neighbor lists to user devices that reflect the arrangement of a particular portion of the deployment and the needs of the user devices. Various systems, methods and apparatus described herein are configured to provide a user device or a group of user devices a neighbor cell list that includes neighbor cell identifiers chosen from a candidate list.

Abstract translation: 根据一些无线网络标准，相邻小区列表的大小被限制为最大大小。 相邻小区列表的有限大小可能不能反映无线网络部署的实际情况，特别是对于包括紧密聚集的许多毫微微小区的部署。 因此，当区域中的宏小区和/或毫微微小区的集中度增加时，存在挑战，以识别和传送邻居列表到反映部署的特定部分的布置的用户设备和用户设备的需要。 这里描述的各种系统，方法和装置被配置为向用户设备或用户设备组提供包括从候选列表中选择的相邻小区标识符的相邻小区列表。

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a femto node to configure one or more of its RF parameters. This may be achieved, for example, by determining capabilities of one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes based in part on signals received from the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes, comparing the determined capabilities of the one or more neighboring femto or pico nodes to one or more capabilities of the femto node, and adjusting one or more RF parameters of the femto node based on the comparison.
