20090325636 | Radio system having distributed real-time processing - A distributed radio system is disclosed. Transmit and receive packets of data are transported over a relatively high-speed multiplexed network, which in one embodiment may be an Ethernet network. The distributed radio system comprises in one embodiment a centrally-located network-level processing unit connected via network connections to one or more intermediate-level processing units. The intermediate-level processing units may be distributed throughout the coverage area. The processing units perform digital signal processing, as well as higher level processing such as signal routing, speech transcoding and proper interfacing to external environments, such as a macrocellular environment. Radio elements are provided that are accurately timed or synchronized, such that the radio elements have their own time base to ensure proper transmission, even when unpredictable network delays occur. | 12-31-2009 |
20100214941 | SSYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELF-OPTIMIZATION IN WIRELESS BASE STATIONS BY DETECTION OF INTERFERENCE AT THE EDGE OF A RECEIVED RADIO FREQUENCY BAND - Systems and methods are described for reducing an interference level associated with frequency drift in a wireless base station. The base station monitors an interference level in a frequency resource caused by a first frequency resource colliding with a second frequency resource. If the interference level is outside of an expected range, the base station adjusts a parameter of the base station such as a reference oscillator frequency to compensate for frequency drift. This method may be used in a femtocell wireless base station. | 08-26-2010 |
20100215023 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS THAT AUTONOMOUSLY DETECT AND MEASURE ANCILLARY COMMUNICATIONS FOR MAKING HANDOVER DECISIONS - A networked computing system facilitating ancillary device measurement of regional network communications in order to determine intra-network communications handovers. The networked computing system includes a base station, one or more transceiver devices having shorter-range communications capability than the base station, user equipment, and a data communications network facilitating data communications amongst the networked computing systems devices. Within the network, a first transceiver device may be configured to detect ancillary communications between a user equipment and the base station, and then measure one or more characteristics associated with the ancillary communications in response to detecting the ancillary communications. The first transceiver device may also be configured to transmit the measured characteristics to the base station or to an auxiliary network controller device that is capable of making network communications usage decisions based on one or more network resource usage rules. | 08-26-2010 |
20100216475 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSIGNING REGIONAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS HANDOVERS UTILIZING ANCILLARY CELL FEEDBACK - A networked computing system for assigning regional wireless communications based on ancillary device feedback. The network computing system includes a radio communications controller, one or more transceiver device(s), user equipment, and data communications network facilitating data communications amongst the wireless communications devices of the networked computing system. The radio communications controller may be configured to receive a feedback communication from a network transceiver device capable of detecting ancillary wireless communications, and then determine whether an alternate service provider resource exists for providing wireless data communications service to the user equipment within the data communications network, based on the received feedback communication. | 08-26-2010 |
20100216482 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF DYNAMIC SEGREGATION OF MANAGED WIRELESS RESOURCES BY TRAFFIC TYPE - Systems and methods are described for segregating airlink resources in a wireless communication network by traffic type. When voice data and traffic data are sent simultaneously in a wireless network using a limited set of frequency resources, the data traffic can cause unacceptable interference in the voice traffic. Accordingly, transceivers share their voice traffic and data traffic demands and may allocate portions of an airlink resource into resource zones for exclusive use by voice traffic and data traffic. Within each resource zone, the transmission can be optimally managed for each traffic type, and interference between voice traffic and data traffic is reduced. | 08-26-2010 |
20100216485 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USAGE-BASED OUTPUT POWER LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS FOR SELF-OPTIMIZING RADIO ACCESS NODES - A wireless base station and method are described for adjusting an output power level for self-optimizing radio access node. The base station monitors a link metric of a downlink traffic channel and records the measurements as historical link metric data. Later, the base station compares the link metric with the historical link metric data and adjusts the power level of a broadcast channel and one or more system channels. This may reduce the operating radius of the base station, including the broadcast channels, system channels, and traffic channels, to reduce interference with other cells in a network. This method may be used in a femtocell or picocell wireless base station. | 08-26-2010 |
20110171956 | GENERAL ACCESS NETWORK CONTROLLER BYPASS TO FACILITATE USE OF STANDARD CELLULAR HANDSETS WITH A GENERAL ACCESS NETWORK - Enabling a standard cellular handset to be used to access a core mobile network via a generic access network is disclosed. A communication between a generic access network element and the core mobile network is intercepted. A modified version of the communication is generated. The modified communication is forwarded. | 07-14-2011 |
20120057570 | USING A SINGLE LOGICAL BASE TRANSCEIVER TO SERVE MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LOCATIONS - Using a single logical base transceiver to serve multiple physical locations is disclosed. A call traffic associated with a call associated at a mobile network with an assigned timeslot of a logical base transceiver is received. A timeslot with which the call traffic is associated is remapped from the assigned timeslot to a serving timeslot being used at a serving physical base transceiver to facilitate the call, in the event the call traffic comprises inbound call traffic being sent into the mobile network from the serving physical base transceiver, or from the serving timeslot to the assigned timeslot in the event the call traffic comprises outbound call traffic being sent from the mobile network to the serving physical base transceiver. | 03-08-2012 |

A mobile communication between, the standard cellular mobile station and a core mobile network is relayed via a generic access network. In some embodiments, translation between the standard cellular air link and a generic access network uplink interlace is performed. | 06-19-2014 |
