Systems and Methods for Network Adaptation Support in Wireless Network

摘要

Embodiments are provided for implementing network adaptation schemes, including small cell on/off adaptation and transmission power control. In an embodiment method for supporting network adaptation, a network component receives a discovery reference signal (DRS) from a network controller that is in a switch-off transmission mode. The network component then performs measurements according to the DRS, and reports the measurements to a network associated with the network controller. In return, the network component receives a radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the network. The RRC signaling includes configuration information allowing a connection between the network component and the network controller. The network component then connects with the network controller in accordance with the configuration information.

1. A method supporting network adaptation by a network component, the method comprising:
receiving, by the network component, a discovery reference signal (DRS) from a network controller, the network controller being in a switch-off transmission mode; performing, by the network component, measurements according to the DRS; reporting the measurements to a network associated with the network controller; receiving, at the network component, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the network, the RRC signaling including configuration information allowing a connection between the network component and the network controller; and connecting the network component to the network controller in accordance with the configuration information.
