20130288681 | METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method comprises receiving from a plurality of user equipment signal information for at least one cell, and using said information to determine if a candidate cell is to enter a reduced power mode. | 10-31-2013 |
20140113676 | Arrangements for Controlling Antennas - A method of controlling an antenna system in which performance indicators relating to capacity and coverage are used to generate an instruction to adjust the order of MIMO provided by the antenna system and at least one of the level of beam forming and transmission power. The instruction may not be followed in case a decision-making entity decides that it is not appropriate. | 04-24-2014 |
20140315538 | Method of Improving Coverage and Optimisation in Communication Networks - A method and apparatus for detecting and determining the location of a coverage hole in a communications network such as a cellular communication system wherein the location is determined from operational parameters and/or by network elements themselves. Additionally is a method to reduce a hole by adjusting antennae parameters preferably remotely and automatically and this can be done in conjunction with hole location to optimise the system. | 10-23-2014 |
20150271827 | METHOD AND APPARATUSES FOR INDIVIDUALLY CONTROL A USER EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO OPTIMISE THE QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE (QOE) - A method comprises receiving at least one of a) usage condition information relating to one or more usage conditions of a user equipment and b) network performance information; and using said information to cause a change in one or more parameters which individually control a or said user equipment, said parameters being radio resource management parameters. | 09-24-2015 |
20160006571 | ADAPTING PCC RULES TO USER EXPERIENCE - A method for policy management in a network comprises collecting data relating to one or more active user equipment in the network, processing said data, and responsive to said processing determining if policy management provided by a policy function of the network with respect to a respective user equipment is to be changed. | 01-07-2016 |
20160057633 | Methods and Apparatus for Antenna Tilt Optimization - Systems and techniques for antenna optimization are described. Information such as statistics relating to conditions are collected, and evaluated against specified criteria in an iterative process. An antenna tilt decision is made based on the evaluation and validated to determine if it should be retained or repeated, or if the tilt should be returned to a previous state. | 02-25-2016 |
20160087842 | METHOD OF OPERATING A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A method of operating a communication network comprising a verification component is provided, wherein the method comprises achieving at the verification component a verification plan defining a verification process associated with a specific network operation; and executing the verification plan after deploying the specific network operation. | 03-24-2016 |
20160105820 | Controlling Communication Devices in a Communication System - Access technology priority lists and related access list identifiers are maintained in a radio access system such that at least one access list identifier is associated with a plurality of access technology priority lists. Behaviour of at least one communication device in the radio access system is controlled by selecting one of the access technology selection priority lists based on information (such as load conditions or quality of service class) regarding an access list identifier and the radio access system. | 04-14-2016 |
