20100214939 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING TIME VARYING RADIO FREQUENCY ISOLATION CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN NETWORK CELLS - A networked computing system including multiple network base stations, user equipment, and a data communications network facilitating communications amongst all devices of the networked computing system. The radio frequency isolation between two network base stations is determined by taking measurements of a radio operating parameter associated with at least one interference source. A regional network device located near one of the two base stations is configured measures the radio operating parameter on a periodic basis and then transfers the measurements to a radio communications controller. The radio communications controller then allocates network communications resources to user equipment, and optionally designates radio operation levels for one or more network base stations, based on a comparison of the received measurements to known broadcast levels of the radio operating parameter. | 08-26-2010 |
20100216467 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING RADIO RESOURCES USING EXTENDED MANAGEMENT INFORMATION BASES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - A networked computing system, including multiple radio access nodes (RANs), multiple radio communications controllers (RCCs), and a data communications network facilitating communications amongst the RANs and the RCCs of the system. A regional RAN receives a default eMIB associated with a first type of RAN (e.g., a macrocell, microcell, picocells, or femtocell RAN types) from a RCC, in response to a registration event of a RAN initialization process. The regional RAN maintains a dynamic eMIB comprising network operating parameters determined by various self-optimization processes. The network operating parameters of the dynamic eMIB are selected to fall within a range designated by the default eMIB. During a network failure condition, the regional RAN is configured to use a temporary eMIB comprising failure level operating parameters in order to mitigate network deficiencies caused by the network failure condition. | 08-26-2010 |
20100216477 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USAGE-BASED RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF SELF-OPTIMIZING CELLS - Systems and methods are described for allocating frequency resources based on historical usage data in a wireless communication system. A base station tracks its local usage pattern to generate a set of historical usage statistics. The base station may share those statistics with another base station node in the same network and with a server. The server may generate a frequency resource allocation plan to allocate shared resources most efficiently to various base stations based on historical usage information. Allocating frequency resources in this manner reduces the probability of cochannel interference between nearby cells and optimizes power solutions for local and regional radio access networks. | 08-26-2010 |
