Techniques for managing communications are disclosed. The management may comprise, for example, monitoring a shared channel for downlink transmissions associated with a first Radio Access Technologies (RAT) and uplink transmissions associated with the first RAT, identifying a first set of node identifiers associated with the downlink transmissions on the shared channel and a second set of node identifiers associated with the uplink transmissions on the shared channel, and detecting a hidden node operating on the shared channel based on the first set of node identifiers and the second set of node identifiers.

Channel selection at small cell access points based on detection of hidden nodes

A power calibration scheme adjusts power levels of network of femtocells based on macro signals seen at different points in and around a coverage area and based on the mutual positions of the femtocells (e.g., based on femtocell signals seen at these points). The power calibration scheme thus facilitates a good balance between providing a desired level of coverage and mitigation of interference to nearby macrocells and femtocells.

Power control for a network of access points

Methods and apparatus for communication comprise aspects that include performing a power management procedure for configuring a subset of network entities to receive one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements. The methods and apparatus further comprise aspects that include storing the one or more one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements associated with the subset of network entities at a database for managing transmit power at the subset of network entities. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise aspects that include adjusting a transmit power value of at least one of the subset of network entities from a first transmit power value to a second transmit power value based at least in part on the one or more of downlink signal measurements and/or one or more uplink signal measurements.
