Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for spectrum access server support of resource assignments based on radio access network coexistence information. An example method generally includes obtaining information regarding capability of different entities requesting use of the shared radio resources, estimating compatibility between the different entities based on the information, and allocating the shared radio resources to the different entities based on the estimated compatibility.
Abstract:
Techniques for prioritizing inter-frequency measurements are disclosed. The method may include identifying a first frequency for measurement that is associated with mobility of an access terminal for transitioning from a serving primary cell to a target primary cell, identifying a second frequency for measurement that is associated with supplemental capacity of the access terminal for adding a secondary cell to operate in conjunction with the serving primary cell, prioritizing the mobility of the access terminal or the supplemental capacity of the access terminal, selecting for measurement in a measurement period either the first frequency or the second frequency based on the prioritizing, and triggering a measurement for the selected frequency.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents aspects for managing performance of a wireless network. For example, the aspects may include identifying a backhaul condition at a small cell in the wireless network wherein the backhaul condition is associated with one or more of a backhaul latency measurement, a backhaul error rate, or a backhaul jitter value at the small cell and triggering an action at the small cell in response to identifying the backhaul condition at the small cell, wherein triggering the action at the small cell includes modifying one or more resource management parameters at the small cell based on the backhaul condition. As such, performance of a wireless network may be managed.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided that include adjusting rise-over-thermal (RoT) or noise rise (NR) threshold based on detecting interference from one or more devices. A device can communicate within close proximity of a femto node such that the device does not respond to power down commands from the femto node due to operating at a minimum transmit power. The device can cause the RoT or NR at the femto node to potentially rise over a threshold, however. Thus, the femto node can increase the RoT or NR threshold to allow the device to communicate with the femto node without impacting other devices communicating with the femto node. Out-of-cell interference from devices communicating with other base stations can be detected as well, and the RoT or NR threshold can be adjusted based thereon.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for a light active estimation mechanism for backhaul management at a small cell base station. For example, the method may include transmitting a first data packet from the small cell base station to a network entity, receiving a second data packet from the network entity in response to the transmission, calculating a time delay between the transmitting of the first data packet and the receiving of the second data packet, and determining whether or not a backhaul of the small cell base station is congested based on the calculated time delay. As such, light active estimation mechanism for backhaul management at a small cell base station may be achieved.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for calibrating a small cell base station for backhaul management. For example, the method may include exchanging backhaul probing messages with a probing server by initiating a plurality of probing packets at the small cell base station, wherein the exchanging is performed over a backhaul after determining that a full queue condition associated with the backhaul is satisfied, computing calibration statistics for the backhaul based on characteristics associated with the backhaul probing messages, and adjusting one or more backhaul parameters of the small cell based on the calibration statistics. As such, calibration of a small cell base station for backhaul management may be achieved.

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.
