Small cell deployment may be provided. First, access point data may be captured by a technician device from an access point. Next, the access point data may be transmitted from the technician device to a backend server. The technician device may then receive post-check results corresponding to the access point from the backend server. The post-check results may be based on the transmitted access point data.

Provided are a method and a device for selecting a channel of an unlicensed band in configuring carrier aggregation for a terminal using an unlicensed band cell which uses an unlicensed frequency band. The method may include: receiving, from a base station, channel candidate information of a secondary cell using an unlicensed frequency band; transmitting channel state information with respect to one or more channels generated using the channel candidate information; and adding, as the secondary cell, a channel selected on the basis of the channel state information by the base station; and a device.

A method and User Equipment (UE) for estimating locations of obstacles to signal transmission in a wireless communication network is disclosed. The method involves at the UE in communication with the network, in response to receiving a reference signal from a neighboring node via a non-line-of-sight (NLoS) transmission, transmitting an identification of the neighboring node to network equipment implementing the wireless communications network to facilitate estimating locations of the obstacles to signal transmission based on estimates of the location of the UE and the neighboring node.

A method for providing an ad-hoc network provided, wherein at least one group of mobile devices operate as a device-to-device cluster having a currently elected cluster head device. The method comprises configuring, in a network apparatus for the device-to-device cluster, a cluster-specific cell-level radio network temporary identifier C-RNTI on the basis of a content-sharing service requested within the device-to-device cluster. C-RNTI is used to act as a cluster-specific virtual radio access user responsible for transmission between a serving base station and the currently elected cluster head device on behalf of the device-to-device cluster.
