A method and system for establishing a Television Whitespace (TVWS) relay for public safety is presented. The method and system utilize a multi Radio Access Technology (multi-RAT) base station and a TVWS relay in communication with the multi-RAT base station. The TVWS relay provides a backhaul channel to an IP network in a public safety environment.

A mesh network includes a source node and non-source nodes. The source node generates geofenced message information defining a geofenced message for one or more non-source nodes within a geofence. The source node transmits the geofenced message information for reception by a non-source node within a communication range of the source node. The non-source node, responsive to receiving the geofenced message information, transmits the geofenced message information for reception by other non-source nodes within a communication range of the non-source node. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node presents the geofenced message. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node does not presents the geofenced message.

One or more resources may be determined for wireless communications. A wireless device may apply an indication associated with a resource to one or more other resources. One or more conditions and/or parameters may be used to determine whether to use the indication for the one or more other resources.

A method for scheduling construction of a small cell is described herein. The method includes, subsequent to development of a model of the small cell, developing a draft schedule comprising a matrix including an order of when each task for construction of the small cell is to be completed; vetting and testing the draft schedule for flow continuity and for viability of meeting deadlines outlined therein; generating a revised schedule from the draft schedule based on the vetting and testing of the draft schedule; and publishing the final schedule with the model of the small cell.

A network slice programming and management system is provided, for slicing a network to multiple groups of logical network slices composed of a collection of logical network functions, each dedicated to supporting a specific respective use for subscribers of the slice. The system comprises of a programming interface configured to receive commands for creation and/or configuration of network slice design comprising the constraints and requirements defining an architecture of logical network functions that when deployed form a network slice of a network, the commands include selection of at least one network function and a definition of an interaction of the selected at least one network function with other network functions.

A self-organizing network switching matrix is provided. The self-organizing network switching matrix can receive a first set of communications data from a set of base transceiver stations wherein the communications data includes a radio simulcast. It can send the first set of communications data to a subset of remote transceiver units in a set of remote transceiver units. A second set of communications data can be received from the first subset of remote transceiver units. A set of network activity data can be generated based on monitoring the receiving of the second set of communications data from the first subset of remote transceiver units for a defined network activity. The subset of remote transceiver units can be adjusted based on the network activity data. In this regard, the self-organizing network switching matrix facilitates automated capacity management providing just in time network dimensioning.
