Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for distributed updating of a self organizing network. For example, the disclosure presents a method for transmitting, via a transmitting component at a base station, a portion of data collected at the base station to a network entity, wherein the data collected at the base station is received by the base station from one or more user equipments (UE) in communication with one or more base stations, wherein the base station is one of the one or more base stations, receiving feedback, from the network entity, associated with one or more network parameters of the base station, wherein the feedback received from the network entity is determined at the network entity at least based on the portion of data transmitted from the one or more base stations to the network entity, and updating the one or more network parameters at the base station based on the feedback received from the network entity and local information at the base station. As such, distributed updating of a self organizing network may be achieved.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for communication comprise aspects that include performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements. The methods and apparatus further comprise aspects that include storing the one or more one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise aspects that include adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements.
Abstract:
A small cell (e.g., femtocell) in a wireless communication may determine a set of wireless signal measurements for a plurality of small cells causing pilot cell pollution within a coverage area. The small cell may determine an adjustment of a transmission parameter of the small cells for reducing the pilot cell pollution, and transmit the adjustment to the small cells. The adjustment may include, for example, minimizing an area of overlap between at least two small cells having signal power difference below a threshold, maximizing a signal to interference and noise ratio at a location associated with at least two small cells, minimizing an area associated with at least two pilot signals within a threshold signal level, distributing traffic load to at least two of the small cells based on the set of measurements, or by minimizing the number of small cells covering a path.
