Abstract: An intermediate server synchronizes reporting data between a requestor computing device and an effector computing device. The server stores a plurality of event identifiers, and a plurality of reporting templates. Each template has a template identifier, and a mapping between a subset of the event identifiers and a set of reporting stages.

The reporting data record includes fields for each stage defined by the selected template. After relaying the production task request to the effector device, the server receives reporting data from the effector device, containing values corresponding for a reported subset of the events. The server stores a portion of the values in the reporting data record according to the template; and transmits the reporting data record to the requestor device.

Abstract: A method for assigning downlink transmit power levels to radio nodes (RNs) in a small cell radio access network (RAN) includes assigning initial power levels to the RNs. For each cell, first events are counted indicating that UEs receiving a signal from their serving cells with a signal strength below a specified value have entered a coverage hole. For each cell, second events are counted indicating that UEs have re-established a previous connection on one of the cells. For each pair of cells, a coverage hole is identified between them if the number of first events for one cell exceeds a threshold and a number of second events or re-establishment of a previous connection on the other cell exceeds another threshold. For each identified coverage hole, the downlink transmit power level is increased of at least one RN in the pair of cells between which the coverage hole is identified.
