Patent number: 9848343Abstract: A method and system architecture for a self-organizing network (SON) includes a first cell having a first user equipment classifier for determining one of cell edge and cell central. The SON also includes a second cell having a second user equipment classifier for determining one of cell edge and cell central. The system architecture and method provide a first transmit time interval (TTI) schema for user equipment within the area of coverage associated with the first cell and a TTI schema for user equipment within the area of coverage associated with the second cell, the second TTI schema differing from the first TTI schema. The user equipment is classified as cell center or cell edge in dependence upon at least one of QoS requirement, geometry, periodic PSMM and CQI reports. The TTI schemas are used for “cell edge” user equipment by the respective cells.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: AIRHOP COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Fei Frank Zhou, Hanson On, Zaijin Guan

Patent number: 9763257Abstract: A self-organizing wireless network (SON) includes a plurality of base stations. Each base station includes a SON component for coordinating radio resource allocation with other base stations and a radio resource management component for accepting an allocation from the SON component and managing usage of that allocation for end user equipment associated with its base station. The base stations provide access to a plurality of end user equipment. The SON may include a server for communicating with the SON component for coordinating of radio resource allocation. The self-organizing wireless network may include a central control for communicating with the SON component for coordinating of radio resource allocation. Coordinating of radio resources relates to physical channels, transmit power, spatial resource allocation, admission control, load balancing, coordinating network elements in groups and includes adapting to addition of and reduction of network elements in a group in real time.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: AIRHOP COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventor: Hanson On

Patent number: 9686360Abstract: LTE and HSPA/UMTS deployments are trending towards high density, heterogeneous and ad-hoc deployments. These deployments can be managed through Self-Organizing Network (SON) schemas. Enabling SON generally involves the introduction of new software and/or hardware entities into the network that can interact with existing base station and network entities (e.g., Enhanced Packet Core, Element Management System, and/or other network entities). In one embodiment, these interactions include the development and deployment of interfaces (e.g., APIs) and protocols between the SON entities and various network entities. For example, data collected on either side of an interface or protocol can be post-processed before consumption (e.g., for both data integrity purposes as well as bandwidth reduction purposes).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: AirHop Communications, Inc.Inventors: Hanson On, Douglas McPherson, Zaijin Guan, Ramakrishna Akella, Hsien Woo, Yan Hui

Patent number: 8804649Abstract: Self-optimization in heterogeneous networks techniques are provided. In autonomous mode, certain self-optimization criteria are used to set up one or more targets with same or different priorities. The cells in a defined area of a HetNet autonomously adjust certain radio resources (e.g., power, time, frequency, and/or spatial resources (e.g. antenna, location)) in order to achieve or to be close to the targets such that the self-optimization criteria are met. In a coordinated mode, certain self-optimization criteria are used to define one or more cost functions with same or different priorities. The cells or a subset of users in the cells in a defined area of a HetNet search for the optimal solution for the cost functions by coordinating certain radio resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: AirHop Communications, Inc.Inventors: Zaijin Guan, Hanson On, Yan Hui
