20100222071 | STAGGERED CHANNELIZATION CODE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-CARRIER NETWORKS - In order to provide load balancing in a wireless network that includes a cell with two or more carriers, sequential service requests for radio resources are allocated to respective ones of the two or more carriers in a staggered manner (i.e., a round robin, or least recently used (LRU) approach).

20140071856 | TIMING ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR ADAPTING NEIGHBOR RELATIONS - Adjusting radio area network performance by adapting cell coverage area can help optimize the operating efficiency of a wireless network. Base station coverage areas can be determined by analysis of reported timing advance information. This can facilitate adjusting coverage areas. Further, integration with network topology planning components and management components can be employed.

Analysis can be based on receiving historical information relating to key performance indicators such as call failure rate, call success rate, handover attempt count, handover attempt failure count, etc. Further, analysis can include the application of predetermined rules relating to preferential performance of the base stations. This can facilitate ranking neighboring base stations, adding new base stations, deleting base stations, black/white listing base stations, etc., in neighbor relations data structures, such as automatic neighbor relations structures for self-organizing networks, e.g., eNodeBs in LTE networks. | 03-13-2014 |
20140073304 | DISTANCE-BASED MODIFICATION OF NEIGHBOR RELATIONS - Adjusting RAN performance by adapting cell coverage area can help optimize a wireless network.

When a PCI conflict is determined, a unique identifier for each base station can be employed to facilitate determining location information for the base stations. Location information can be employed to determine distance-based characteristics that can facilitate adaptation of wireless network neighbor relations to adapt the RAN coverage area topology. Distance-based characteristics can include nearest neighbor, proximity to a predetermined distance, etc. Additionally, PCI information can be updated to correct the PCI conflict condition.
