Abstract: An example method comprises receiving an event notification from a cell in a current set of a user equipment, the event notification indicating an uplink signal strength from the user equipment to the cell relative to a threshold; and designating the cell as being either a viable candidate or not a viable candidate to be a serving cell based on the uplink signal strength relative to the threshold.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products facilitate proper allocation of network resource in a self-configuring network. The initial configuration space associated with the self-configuring network is updated based on information received from the network that describes particular adequacies or inadequacies of the initial configuration space. Based on the received information, the configuration space is updated to accommodate proper and efficient operations of the network.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reconfiguration of a communication environment based on loading requirements. Network operations are monitored and analyzed to determine loading balance across the network or a portion thereof. Where warranted, the network is reconfigured to balance the load across multiple network entities. For example, in a cellular-type of network, traffic loads and throughput requirements are analyzed for the access points and their user equipment. Where loading imbalances occur, the cell coverage areas of one or more access points can be reconfigured to alleviate bottlenecks or improve balancing.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products facilitate various handoff operations to/from a network. A self-configuring and self-optimizing topology discovery operation provides detailed information regarding the various radio nodes that are internal and external to the network. This information is utilized to construct a plurality of neighbor lists that identify multiple tiers of neighboring radio nodes of the network. The neighbor lists and the measurements obtained from the user equipment within the network provide up-to-date information that facilitates various types of handoff operations.
