Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing a multi-Het Net Gateway (HNG) distributed Self Organizing Network (dSON) for a wireless network. The dSON ascertains information from at least one of User Equipment (UE) reports and neighbor detection for a mobile EnodeB attached to an HNG. A configuration is adjusted for the mobile eNodeB based on location and a state of neighbors obtained from the UE report and neighbor detection. The mobile eNodeB configuration includes at least one of Physical Cell Identification (PCI) allocation, Tracking Area Code (TAC) allocation, reference Transmit (Tx) power management, and Automatic Neighbor Relations (ANR) table.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for uplink power control. A user equipment (UE) in communication with a base station may select a power control configuration for low latency or high reliability communications or semi-persistently scheduled communications. In some cases, a power control configuration may correspond to a reception point in a multi-reception-point environment. In some cases, the power control configuration may indicate a default transmit power for uplink communications. In some cases, a UE may perform, at the physical layer, measurements on a signal received from the base station and use this information to determine or select a transmit power for uplink communications. Selecting the low latency power control configuration may include selecting a set of transmit powers or a step size for transmit power adjustments specific to low latency or high reliability communications or semi-persistently scheduled communications.

Methods and apparatus are described for enhanced node communication within a wireless node network having nodes and a server. The method begins with a first node associating with a second node, and the first node capturing relevant node information. When the first node is in a first connectivity mode, the relevant node information is transmitted to the server via the second node operating as an intermediary for indirect communication with the server. When the first node is in a second connectivity mode, the first node transmits the relevant node information to the server without using the second node as the intermediary or bridge to the server. Each of the first node and second node may be wireless transceiver-based nodes and respectively implemented as integrated circuits.

A system, a method, and a computer program product for power control using uplink coordinated multi-point transmission in a wireless communications system are provided. Using a first node, at least one second node configured to provide an uplink support to user equipment communicating with the first node is detected. The first node receives a confirmation from the second node indicating availability of uplink support by the second node to the user equipment. Based on the received confirmation, communicating with the user equipment on an uplink using the second node is established.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support a shared transmission power control (TPC) for uplink data and control channels. In a first aspect, a method includes a user equipment (UE) receiving a TPC command in downlink control messages from a serving base station. Each TPC command includes a power correction indicator. The UE may then apply an accumulation of power correction indicators received in the downlink control messages to an adjustment state associated with a transmit power of an of uplink control channel and an uplink data channel. The UE transmits to an uplink receive point, the uplink control or data channel according to the transmit power adjusted by the accumulation of power correction indicators applied to the adjustment state. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether to perform a power headroom report (PHR) function for a pathloss reference signal (PL-RS). Based on the determination, the UE may perform a PHR function or one or more pathloss measurements for the PL-RS. In some aspects, the determination may be based on a PL-RS type or cell type associated with the PL-RS.

An uplink power control method comprises: receiving configuration information of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station, wherein the configuration information of the CSI-RS comprises reference signal port information and reference signal power information; and measuring a path loss for uplink power control based on the configuration information of the CSI-RS. Using the CSI-RS to measure the path loss differs from using a common CRS in that the CSI-RS may be aimed at a specific base station. Therefore, path loss measurement may be performed with respect to a target base station of uplink transmission, enabling the path loss compensation to match the actual path loss, thus improving the performance of uplink power control.
