International Classification:

H04W 16/18

US Classification:

455446

Abstract:

In a network containing a macro base station and wireless access points within the range of the macro base station, information from wireless access points are used to change the quantity of almost blank subframes delivered by the macro base station, adjust the cell range extension area of one or more of the wireless access points, or provide instructions to alter the number of wireless access points. The information is analyzed. The analysis allows determination of a capacity gain associated with using the wireless access points within an area associated with the macro base station and whether the capacity gain provides at least a threshold amount of gain permitting the macro base station and the wireless access points to provide service to mobile devices within the area.

Abstract:

A system may receive, from a base station, information indicating that a network congestion level associated with the base station satisfies a threshold, the network congestion level being a measurement of traffic associated with a network, and the network including the base station. The system may determine, based on the network congestion level satisfying the threshold, traffic flow information for a plurality of traffic flows associated with the base station. The system may identify a congestion-causing traffic flow, of the plurality of traffic flows, based on the traffic flow information. The system may provide information identifying the congestion-causing traffic flow.
