Aspects of the present disclosure provide a number of approaches to deploy out-of-standard (or proprietary) features/enhancements that are not supported in the current communication standards. A mobile terminal and a network can mutually agree to support certain out-of-standard features/enhancements, and communicate support of such out-of-standard or non-standard features/enhancements by adapting or repurposing currently unused (or reserved) signaling data.

Apparatus and methods for signaling out-of-standard capability in wireless communication networks

Methods and apparatus for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include maintaining a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list and receiving an information request from a network, wherein the information request is associated with configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list. Aspects of the methods and apparatus configuring the UE based on the configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list. Aspects also include replying to the network that the UE is configured with the configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list.

Apparatus and method for signaling network capabilities for a wireless device

A method and apparatus for facilitating capacity monitoring and recommending action for a wireless network is provided. The method may comprise: obtaining data associated with one or more capacity attributes and one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with a network, calculating network level values for the one or more KPIs from the obtained data, generating performance data graphs by plotting a first of the one or more KPIs against a second of the one or more KPIs, analyzing the one or more performance data graphs to determine at least one alarm threshold, and monitoring the one or more capacity attributes to determine if any of the at least one alarm thresholds has been triggered.

System and method for facilitating capacity monitoring and recommending action for wireless networks

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate management of automatic neighbor relation functions in wireless networks. The system can include components and/or devices that ascertain whether or not to add or remove a neighbor relation based on information associated with an operations and management system, wherein the operations and management system dispatches add or remove requests to a base station that establishes, updates, and/or maintains a neighbor relations table and/or set of neighbor relations that includes neighbor relations between cells.

Method and apparatus for management of automatic neighbor relation function in wireless networks

A method for wireless communications is provided. The method includes determining a set of handover parameters that facilitate a handover between cells in a wireless network and analyzing the set of handover parameters. The method includes dynamically adjusting the parameters to mitigate handover failures between the cells.

Method and apparatus for automatic handover optimization

In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines that a client application has entered a period of transmission inactivity whereby the UE will not be required to transmit data on behalf of the client application. The UE selectively transmits a transmission inactivity notification to an access network (AN) to notify the AN of the transmission inactivity period. The AN receives the transmission inactivity notification and determines to transition the UE from a first state to a second state based at least in part on the received transmission inactivity notification, the second state associated with lower-power consumption of the UE than the first state. The AN sends instructions to the UE to facilitate the transition of the UE from the first state to the second state. In another embodiment, the AN can send instructions to the UE to prohibit the UE from sending transmission inactivity notifications.
