Methods and systems for centralizing transport and control, T&C, functions for management of a plurality of enhanced nodeBs, eNBS, and their associated cells are disclosed. According to one aspect, the invention provides a method that includes providing the T&C functions associated with each of the plurality of eNBs at at least one T&C pool entity. Mobility events associated with the plurality of the eNBs are coordinated between the at least one T&C pool entity using an interface. Available resources of each of a plurality of links of a shared network connecting the plurality of eNBs and the at least one T&C pool entity are determined. Control signaling and data packets between the plurality of eNBs and the at least one T&C pool entity are transmitted using a protocol across the shared network to facilitate communication between eNBs and user equipment. |
