Methods for radio technology selection and power calibration in multi-rat small cells

摘要

Described herein are techniques for radio technology selection and power calibration in multi-RAT small cells. For example, the technique may involve determining, at an access point, path loss information for a circuit switched fallback failure location. The technique may involve building a path loss database over a time period from the path loss information and managing power or operation mode of a first RAT and a second RAT of the access point based on the path loss database.

1. A method for managing an access point configured for communication in a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining, at an access point, path loss information for a circuit switched fallback failure location; building a path loss database over a time period from the path loss information; managing power or operation mode of a first RAT and a second RAT of the access point based on the path loss database; and receiving, from a user equipment, a second RAT signal measurement, in response to a first RAT signal measurement being below a first threshold and the second RAT signal measurement being above a second threshold, wherein determining the path loss information is based on the second RAT signal measurement.
