Self-organizing wireless backhaul among cellular access points

摘要

Described herein are techniques preparing a wireless backhaul among cellular access points. The cellular access points may obtain either (i) locations of themselves and other devices or (ii) instructions for adjusting position of wireless transceivers of the cellular access points. Based at least in part on the locations or instructions, the cellular access points may adjust positions of the wireless transceivers and initiate wireless connections via the wireless transceivers. The cellular access points may receive the locations or instructions from a server of the telecommunication network, which may determine pairs of the cellular access points based at least in part on the locations of the cellular access points.

主权项

1. A small cell system comprising:
a processor; a cellular transceiver configured to communicate with a macrocell or other small cell system via a portion of licensed spectrum; one or more wireless transceivers configured to wirelessly communicate with corresponding one or more devices utilizing a different spectrum than the portion of licensed spectrum; and a transceiver configuration module configured to be operated by the processor to prepare a wireless backhaul between the small cell system and the one or more devices, the preparing including:
receiving via the cellular transceiver and over the portion of the licensed spectrum either (i) locations of the small cell system and at least one of the one or more devices or (ii) instructions for adjusting a position of at least one of the one or more wireless transceivers,adjusting the position of the at least one of the one or more wireless transceivers based at least in part on (i) the locations of the small cell system and the at least one of the one or more devices or (ii) the instructions, andinitiating wireless communication with the at least one of the one or more devices via the at least one of the one or more wireless transceivers, wherein the one or more devices include the macrocell system or the other small cell system.
