Abstract: Using radio frequency sensing to manage a mobile network resource is disclosed. A radio frequency environment is sensed to detect one or more base transceiver stations. A resource assignment, such as a frequency or channel assignment, is determined based at least in part on the sensed radio frequency environment.

Abstract: Facilitating use of a restricted base transceiver station is disclosed. To a first set of subscribers associated with a mobile network operator, access to a mobile network is provided via base transceiver stations associated with a first mobile network identifier associated with the mobile network operator but not via base transceiver stations associated with a second mobile network identifier associated with the mobile network operator. To each of a second set of subscribers associated with the mobile network operator, access to the mobile network is provided via a corresponding subset of a set of base transceiver stations associated with the second mobile network identifier, the subset including for each subscriber in the second set one or more base transceiver stations with respect to which that subscriber is an authorized user.

Abstract: Controlling use of a mobile network element is disclosed. An indication is received that a mobile station associated with a mobile network is attempting to access the mobile network via a base transceiver station that (1) the mobile station is not authorized to use and (2) is located within a geographic area from which the mobile station is authorized to access the mobile network. The mobile station is prevented from accessing the mobile network via the base transceiver station.

Abstract: Mobile communication data received at the sending based transceiver station via a radio frequency transmission is received a packet data network from a sending base transceiver station. The mobile communication data is forwarded to a base station controller via an interface defined at least in part by a third party base station controller vendor.
