    摘要: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for resolving multiple contexts for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network. In one embodiment a method includes maintaining, for a coordinating node hosting a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) controller and a second RAT controller simultaneously, a centrally maintained database; determining, based on the contents of the centrally maintained database, when the UE is registering with the second RAT controller while currently registered with the first RAT controller; and sending, by the second RAT controller, a deregistration command to the first RAT controller the UE was registered with, wherein context is freed and wherein resources held at both the coordinating node and at a base station are freed.

    摘要: A method for establishing indirect and/or dual connectivity between virtualized 5G gENBs and virtualized 4G eNodeBs for dynamic X2 is disclosed. In one embodiment a method includes virtualizing, with a HetNet Gateway (HNG), BBUs and home eNodeBs over a standard S1 interface; establishing the HNG as a macro interfacing an EPC on 3GPP standard interfaces; communicating with an MME over the S1 interface for control plane signaling; and communicating with SAEGW over a standard GTPU interface for a data plane.

    摘要: A system is disclosed to enhance HNG X2GW node in a way so that it supports the optimized S1-X2 Handovers with loosely coupled SON module. X2GW module in HNG interworks with SON module to provide interface for/towards SON module to update the information required for X2 association management. On receiving cell information from CWS, SON updates the X2GW with additional parameters required for creating/updating X2 association. When SON receives UE measurement report from CWS, it updates the same to X2GW with neighbor information to take further action. For S1-X2 handover where SON has not notified X2GW of neighbor relation between CWS and Macro eNodeB, HNG continues sending Handover over S1. X2GW views SON as a DB which holds Cell Neighbor Related information and keeps updating x2 learnt neighbours using well defined API's towards SON.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for providing distributed paging optimization, the method comprising: connecting a group of radio access network nodes, each supporting multiple small cells, to a gateway which acts as a virtual core network to the multiple small cells and acts as an eNodeB virtualizing the multiple small cells toward a core network; sending, by the gateway, in response to a paging request from the core network, a plurality of recommended cell IDs or base stations using a private information element (IE) in a paging request; and sending paging requests in response to the paging request from the core network to only the plurality of cell IDs or base stations recommended by the gateway.

    摘要: A method, computer readable media and system for providing X2 Gateway (GW) multi-cell support, comprising: are presented. In one embodiment a method includes providing a system having a Virtual Radio Unit (VRU) in communication with a Het Net Gateway (coordinating server); exchanging non-content X2 request messages between the VRU and the coordinating server; exchanging non-content X2 response messages between the VRU and the coordinating server; and wherein the non-content X2 request messages and the X2 response messages are used to communicate multiple cells served by the VRU to the coordinating server.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer readable media are disclosed for providing optimized X2 cell reporting. In one embodiment a method includes selecting a subset of virtualized BaseBand Units (vBBU) vnodes to a macro peer that have either reported the X2 peer eNB as a neighbor, or host a cell that the X2 peer eNodeB (eNB) has reported as a neighbor while advertising the neighboring cells towards macro; and advertising cells of this subset of vBBU vnodes as served-cells in X2-Setup Request/Response towards a macro.
