Methods and apparatus to manage workload domains in virtual server racks are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to, in response to detecting that a number of available physical racks satisfies a threshold number of physical racks, apply a first resource allocation technique by reserving requested resources by exhausting first available resources of a first physical rack before using second available resources of a second physical rack; in response to detecting that the number of available physical racks does not satisfy the threshold number of physical racks, apply a second resource allocation technique by reserving the requested resources using a portion of the first available resources without exhausting the first available resources and using a portion of the second available resources without exhausting the second available resources; and execute one or more workload domains associated with a number of requested resources.

Apparatus and methods for signal boosters for vehicles are provided. In certain embodiments, a vehicle signal booster system includes an interior unit including a mobile station antenna that receives an RF uplink signal and transmits a boosted RF downlink signal. The vehicle signal booster system further includes a top unit including a base station antenna that receives an RF downlink signal and transmits a boosted RF uplink signal. The vehicle signal booster system further includes booster circuitry that generates the boosted RF downlink signal based on amplifying one or more downlink channels of the RF downlink signal, and that generates the boosted RF uplink signal based on amplifying one or more uplink channels of the RF uplink signal. The booster circuitry is implemented in the top unit or in the top unit and the interior unit.

A base station apparatus of an antenna-integrated type for use in a mobile communication network, includes an enclosure configured to have electric and electronic devices for processing signals in receipt and to form at least a part of an exterior of the base station, and an antenna configured to be installed so as to be tiltable on one surface of the enclosure, to have an outer contour defined by a radome, to include at least one radiating element for transmitting and receiving a radio signal, and an enclosure fixing device configured to fixedly mount the enclosure to an external support, and an antenna fixing apparatus configured to fixedly install the antenna on the enclosure so that the antenna is adjustably tilted with respect to the enclosure.

Radio frequency signal boosters are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a signal booster system includes a signal booster that is proximately located to an outdoor base station antenna. Implementing the signal booster system in this manner can provide a number of advantages relative to a configuration in which the signal booster is far from a base station antenna. For example, a long cable connected from an indoor signal booster to an outdoor base station antenna can be several meters long, resulting in significant cable loss that degrades transmit power and/or receiver sensitivity.

A fiber panel system includes a chassis and at least blades configured to mount to the chassis. Each blade is moveable relative to the chassis between a retracted (closed) position and at least one extended position. Cable slack is managed at the front and/or rear of each chassis to facilitate movement of the blades without pulling or bending the cables beyond a maximum bend limit. Each blade may be locked into one or more positions relative to the chassis.
