Patent number: 10091697Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes gathering at a small cell base station information to populate a neighbor cell list of the small cell base station; gathering measurement reports from connected mode user equipment (“UE”) at the small cell base station; and determining whether uplink interference has exceeded a predetermined threshold and generating an alarm to a central node when the uplink interference has exceeded the predetermined threshold. Upon receipt of notification, the central node triggers an action on an aggressor node, wherein the aggressor node is a node servicing at least one aggressor user equipment (“UE”) that significantly contributes to the uplink interference as determined from the gathered information and reports.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Pankaj Uplenchwar, Gbenga Kabir Salami, Olasunkanmi Adio Durowoju, Sandro Grech, Raymond Yuk Chor Kwan, Simon Burley

Patent number: 9826486Abstract: One example method of operation of a basestation in a mobile communications network is disclosed. The basestation may operate on a carrier channel and may be a member of a group of such basestations within the network. The method comprises establishing the presence of an adjacent basestation outside the group, which basestation operates on a carrier channel at least partially overlapping the carrier channel of the basestation and determining a degree of association between the basestation and the adjacent basestation with reference to other group members. The method further comprises setting at least one of a maximum downlink power for transmissions from the basestation and a maximum uplink power for transmissions from user equipment devices attached to the basestation, based on the degree of association between the basestation and the adjacent basestation. Also disclosed is a basestation operating in accordance with such a method.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Inventors: Pankaj Uplenchwar, Gbenga Salami
