Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an aerial base station determining operating frequencies of terrestrial base stations, and taking one or more actions to reduce the potential for interference between the aerial base station and the terrestrial base stations. Actions taken by the aerial base station may include changing frequency, changing altitude, changing location, and changing transmit power. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Methods and systems are provided for dynamically detecting and correcting the deactivation of beamforming from an antenna. One or more users are identified as present within a particular geographic area typically served by beamforming, and the average signal strength of the one or more user devices is monitored. If a threshold level of degradation of the average signal strength is detected, then a beamforming status is determined for one or more of the antennas serving the user device or devices. Based on the determination, corrective measures are taken and beamforming is reactivated.

An example system includes a server communicatively connected to a cellular base transceiver station having an RF coverage area and configured for RF communication with a first entity that is a transceiver device in the RF coverage area, wherein the server comprises a first publish-subscribe broker that is part of a publish-subscribe broker network that comprises one or more publish-subscribe brokers, wherein a second entity connected to any of the one or more publish-subscribe brokers in the publish-subscribe broker network accepts communications from the transceiver device if the second entity subscribes to data packets published by the transceiver device, and wherein the data packets published by the transceiver device are routed through the publish-subscribe broker to which the second entity is connected.

A device may include a processor configured to determine that a user equipment (UE) device, attached to a base station, is within a coverage area of a small cell operating on a first channel, and that the UE device is not a member of the small cell and is experiencing interference on the first channel. The processor may be further configured to send an instruction to the UE device to provide a measurement report for base stations operating on another band or channel different from the first channel; receive a measurement report from the UE device identifying one or more neighboring base stations operating on the other band or channel; and perform a handover of the UE device to a neighboring base station, wherein the UE device is to communicate with the neighboring base station using the other band or channel.

In a wireless User Equipment (UE), a serving radio wirelessly exchanges data with a serving cell over a serving radio band. The wireless UE wirelessly receives serving signaling that indicates serving uplink interference for the serving radio band at the serving cell. A neighbor radio in the UE wirelessly receives neighbor signaling. UE circuitry determines serving signal strength and the serving uplink interference for the serving cell. The UE circuitry determines neighbor signal strength for the neighbor cell. The UE circuitry compares the serving uplink interference and the serving signal strength to the neighbor signal strength, and in response, generates a handover request for the neighbor cell. The serving radio wirelessly transfers the handover request to the serving cell, and in response, the neighbor radio wirelessly exchanges additional data with the neighbor cell over the neighbor radio band.

[Object] To make it possible to select a cell that is more preferable for a terminal device in an environment in which beamforming is performed. [Solution] There is provided a device including: an acquiring unit configured to acquire received quality information indicating received quality of a reference signal in a terminal device; and a control unit configured to perform cell selection for the terminal device based on the received quality information. When a predetermined condition related to use of weight sets for beamforming by a base station is satisfied, the control unit does not perform the selection based on the received quality information.
