Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for managing radio access point (RAP) devices and enterprise controller devices in a wireless communication network. An enterprise controller device registers with a gateway device, and the enterprise controller device receives a registration request from multiple RAP devices that are serviced by the enterprise controller device. As the RAP devices register with the enterprise controller device, the enterprise controller device generates a list of the RAP devices registered with the enterprise controller. As the enterprise controller receives additional registration requests from additional RAP devices, the enterprise controller updates the list. The enterprise controller sends the list to the gateway device with which it registers so that the gateway device is aware of RAP devices serviced by the enterprise controller device. In this way, aggregated messages may be sent from the gateway device to the enterprise controller.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for transmitting and receiving communications on behalf of wireless user equipment devices between a plurality of radio access point (RAP) devices and a gateway apparatus through a controller apparatus. A controller apparatus generates a plurality of first identifiers used for communications on behalf of corresponding wireless user devices between the controller apparatus and respective RAPs. Each first identifier identifies a wireless user device and a RAP to which the wireless user device is associated. The controller apparatus maps each first identifier to a corresponding one of a plurality of second identifiers for communications exchanged on behalf of the wireless user devices between the controller apparatus and a gateway apparatus in the wireless cellular communication network. The controller apparatus remaps a new first identifier to an existing second identifier when a particular wireless user device has handed over from a first RAP to a second RAP.

Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to optimize up-link transmission power from a wireless terminal to a base transceiver station in a multicarrier system. A pathloss between the wireless terminal and the base transceiver station is determined. A determination is made if the pathloss is less than or larger than a predetermined value. One or more sub-carriers are assigned to the wireless terminal based on whether the pathloss between the wireless terminal and the base transceiver station is less than or larger than the predetermined value. A power cap command signal is sent from the base transceiver station to the wireless terminal for limiting a maximum allowable power transmitted by the wireless terminal to a predetermined level based on proximity of the one or more sub-carriers to an edge of a frequency band used for up-link transmissions made by the wireless terminal.

Abstract: A method for optimizing up-link transmission power from a wireless terminal to a base transceiver station in a multi-carrier system is disclosed. The method includes steps of: determining a pathloss between the wireless terminal and the base transceiver station; assigning at least one sub-carrier to the terminal based on the pathloss between the wireless terminal and the base transceiver station; and sending a power cap command signal from the base transceiver station to the wireless terminal for limiting a maximum allowable power transmitted by the wireless terminal to a predetermined level based on proximity of the sub-carrier to an edge of a frequency band, over which the wireless terminal transmits and receives signals.
