Systems and methods of determining wireless data usage are provided. Wireless data usage of a wireless device on a first network of a first network operator is determined. A message indicating a performance of a handover of the wireless device from the first network to a second network of a second network operator is received and the wireless data usage of the wireless device on the second network is determined based on the message received.

Data usage measurement over multiple networks

A paging message is received at a first access node for a wireless device. It is determined by the first access node that the wireless device is unavailable at the first access node, and the paging message is forwarded from the first access node to a second access node over a communication link between the first access node and the second access node. A message can also be sent from the first access node to a controller node to prevent the sending of a second paging message from the controller node.

System and method for forwarding a paging message between access nodes

A method of operating a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes receiving power status information for resource blocks of a plurality of wireless links, where the resource blocks comprise frequency apportioned timeslots used for exchanging wireless communications between wireless access nodes and user devices. The method also includes processing the power status information to identify ones of the resource blocks which exceed a power threshold, determining scheduling instructions for the resource blocks to reduce the power status information for the ones of the resource blocks to below the power threshold, and transferring the scheduling instructions to at least a first wireless access node for controlling a first wireless link based on the scheduling instructions.
