A wireless communications system comprises wireless local area network (WLAN), WLAN controller coupled to the WLAN, a core network, a RADIUS based interface, and an interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF. The WLAN controller is configured to transmit, via the RADIUS based interface, to the AAA, a request to authenticate a user equipment (UE) currently accessing the core network, wherein the first message comprises an identifier identifying the UE. The PCRF is configured to transmit, via the interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF, a policy associated with the UE, wherein the policy indicates a quality of service (QoS) subscribed for by a user of the UE in the core network. The WLAN controller is further configured to manage resources within the WLAN, based on the policy, to establish a session between the UE and the WLAN.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating the placement of a small cell, wherein at least one of a first set of parameters is determined at each of a first and a second location, at least one of a second set of parameters is determined at each of the first and the second location, and a recommended small cell placement location is generated based on at least one of the determined first set of parameters and the determined second set of parameters.

Systems and methods for configuring and connecting unplanned small cells

A method for a base station in communication with a user device through a wireless communications network is described. The method includes communicating with a user device on a current frequency through a wireless communications network. The method may also include determining, based at least in part on a model, a probability that a higher capacity may be acquired by the user device on a frequency other than the current frequency; predicting a first recommended frequency for the user device that is likely to have a higher capacity than the current frequency; instructing the user device to scan the first recommended frequency; receiving an indication from the user device that the first recommended frequency has a higher capacity than the current frequency; and communicating with the user device on the first recommended frequency.
