A wireless network includes a plurality of small cells. The small cells each register with the network, and an application server tracks the locations of the small cells within the network. Upon entry to the network, the small cell registers with various event packages managed by the application server. When a small cell in the network updates its configurations and/or parameters, the small cell publishes those changes to the application server. The application server determines other nearby small cells that are 'interested' in those changes based on their proximity to the changed cell. The application server then notifies those proximate cells of the changes made to the changed cell so that the proximate cells can update their own configurations.

Method and apparatus for heterogeneous small cells self-organization in LTE networks based on internet protocol multimedia subsystems

Methods and systems for establishing and/or maintaining communication cluster environments that support a plurality of communication devices. The plurality of communication devices can be configured to communicate with one another utilizing the communication cluster environment. The communication within the communication cluster environment can include device-to-device communications between two or more of the plurality of communication devices. Further, the device-to-device communications can utilizes one or more non-3GPP wireless communication protocols and/or standards.

Communication network having proximity service discovery and device self-organization

A duplexing method is provided that combines aspects of Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) methods in a network, such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The duplexing method may be implemented on an existing FDD network by replacing the FDD uplink (UL)-only radio frame with a full TDD radio frame having dynamically allocable UL and downlink (DL) sub-frames. Alternatively, the duplexing method may be implemented on an existing TDD network by adding a second frequency to pair with an existing frequency over which a FDD DL-only radio frame can be run.
