    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for facilitating a beacon-assisted handover from a macro network to a femto cell during an active call. A femto cell management system assigns a unique identifier to a femto cell, which the femto cell utilizes to broadcast a beacon at a frequency different than the operating frequency of the femto cell. A wireless terminal receives a control message from the macro network directing the wireless terminal to scan particular frequencies. The wireless terminal subsequently provides a report to the macro network identifying attributes ascertained from the scan, which includes attributes associated with the beacon. The macro network then performs a handover from the macro network to the femto cell as a function of the attributes.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for regulating system reselections by idle-mode mobile devices. In one aspect, a femtocell may be configured to reduce frequency of its reselection beacon, which reduces probability that a fast moving mobile device will detect the reselection beacon and reselect to that femtocell. This aspect may also delay femtocell reselection for slow moving mobile devices. In another aspect, a macrocell may slow down system reselection by adjusting cell reselection parameters used by mobile devices to determine the time needed to evaluate cell reselection criteria. Yet in another aspect, a macrocell may instruct a collocated femtocell to decrease its effective coverage area to avoid premature reselection by fast moving mobile devices. Yet in another aspect, a femtocell may use power boosting techniques to increase its reselection radius.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for physical cell identifier (PCI) and physical random access channel (PRACH) offset joint planning by a network entity that determines an energy level for each of a plurality of PRACH frequency offsets and selects a PRACH frequency offset from the plurality of PRACH frequency offsets, based at least in part on the determined energy levels. The network entity determines a plurality of possible physical cell identifiers (PCIs) for the selected PRACH frequency offset and selects a PCI from the plurality of possible PCIs.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques for multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) in a cluster may coordinate scheduling and communications with a user equipment (UE). Different TRPs may allocate uplink resources for one or more UEs within a coordinated cluster to transmit feedback information. A first TRP may provide a first set of resources that one or more associated UEs may use to transmit acknowledgment (ACK) feedback to indicate successful receipt of a downlink transmission of the first TRP, and one or more other TRPs of the coordinated cluster may provide a second set of resources that the one or more UEs may use to transmit negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback to indicate that a downlink transmission of the first TRP was lost. The second set of resources may include non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) resources.

    Abstract: Techniques for femtocell message delivery and network planning are described herein. A mobile device sends a registration request to an access point, such as a femtocell access point. If denied registration, the mobile device may return to service by a macro cell access point. A network entity, such as a femtocell gateway serving the access point, may determine an identification of the mobile device. The network entity may send the identification of mobile device and an identifier of the access point to an application server. The application server may create and send a targeted message to the mobile device based on the identification of mobile device and the identifier of the access point. The application server may determine a user count for the access point and facilitate network planning based on the user count.
