Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing base station and Remote Radio Head (RRH) functionality. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, the method for providing base station and Remote Radio Head (RRH) functionality in a base station, comprising: providing a baseband card; providing a radio head, the radio head coupled to the baseband card by way of an interface; and switching, under the control of a processor, between use of the baseband card and use of an external baseband unit for controlling the radio head, the external baseband unit used via a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) port, thereby providing dual base station and remote radio head functionality.

Hybrid base station and RRH

Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing an energy efficient base station with synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: performing traffic analysis to determine off-peak hours duration when traffic is light; updating downlink and uplink schedulers to transmit a minimum required signaling and control information; and wherein updating downlink and uplink scheduler for minimum required signaling and control information further comprises scheduling, in a downlink direction, at least one of transmitting only reference symbols over selected OFDM symbols, PDCCH on up to a first three OFDM symbols, PSS and SSS on a central six PRBs and PBCH.

Energy-efficient base station with synchronization

Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing an energy efficient base station with synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: performing traffic analysis to determine off-peak hours duration when traffic is light; updating downlink and uplink schedulers to transmit a minimum required signaling and control information; and wherein updating downlink and uplink scheduler for minimum required signaling and control information further comprises scheduling, in a downlink direction, at least one of transmitting only reference symbols over selected OFDM symbols, PDCCH on up to a first three OFDM symbols, PSS and SSS on a central six PRB s and PBCH.

A method is disclosed, comprising: collecting, at an in-vehicle base station, reports from a plurality of user equipments (UEs); storing, at the in-vehicle base station, reports collected from the plurality of UEs into a database; forwarding, from the in-vehicle base station to a coordinating server, stored reports into the database; performing, at the coordinating server, data analysis of the received reports; and sending, from the coordinating server to a base station, an instruction to update at least one configuration parameter of the base station, thereby improving data collection and data processing for radio frequency cell optimization.

Mobile base station drive test optimization

A method is disclosed for out-of-band data communication with a base station in a wireless network, the method comprising: determining, at a base station in a cellular access network, the base station configured to use a coordination server and to a first core network for providing network access to user equipments (UEs), an occurrence of an event regarding a communication problem related to the base station; sending an out-of-band message, via an embedded UE module coupled to the base station attached to a second core network, to the coordination server, based on the occurrence of the event at the base station; updating, at the coordination server, a stored status for the base station, thereby enabling a status of the base station to be updated at the coordination server via an out-of-band message.

Out-of-band monitoring and provisioning

Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing an energy efficient base station with synchronization. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: performing traffic analysis to determine off-peak hours duration when traffic is light; updating downlink and uplink schedulers to transmit a minimum required signaling and control information; and wherein updating downlink and uplink scheduler for minimum required signaling and control information further comprises scheduling, in a downlink direction, at least one of transmitting only reference symbols over selected OFDM symbols, PDDCH on to a first three OFDM symbols, PSS and SSS on a central six PRBs and PBCH.

A device, a method, a system, and a computer program product for installation, positioning and/or repositioning of a radio device are disclosed. Using a positioning device, an identification information of the radio device and at least one first positioning parameter associated with the radio device are received for positioning of the radio device on an installation surface. The positioning device determines at least one second positioning parameter of the radio device. The first and second positioning parameters are compared and the radio device is positioned based on at least one of the following: the first positioning parameter and the second positioning parameter.
