SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING INTERFERENCE IN A NETWORK ENVIRONMENT BASED ON USER PRESENCE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a presence of one or more user equipment (UE) in relation to one or more small cell radios of a small cell network based on information obtained through the small cell network and one or more parallel networks, wherein the one or more parallel networks include, at least in part, a wireless local area network (WLAN); and
adjusting transmit power for one or more small cell radios of the small cell network based, at least in part, on the presence of one or more UE in relation to the one or more small cell radios of the small cell network.

Abstract
An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include determining a presence of user equipment (UE) in relation to small cell radio(s) of a small cell network based on information obtained through the small cell network and one or more parallel networks; and adjusting transmit power for the small cell radio(s) based on the presence of UE in relation to the small cell radio(s). Another example method can include determining that a UE in cell paging channel mode has changed its selected macro cell radio; determining that the UE is allowed service on a small cell radio located in a vicinity of a macro cell coverage area of a selected macro cell radio; and adjusting a transmit power of the small cell radio based on a presence of the UE in a surrounding macro cell coverage area of the small cell radio.

12. One or more non-transitory tangible media encoding logic that include instructions for execution that, when executed by a processor, is operable to perform operations comprising:
-
determining a presence of one or more user equipment (UE) in relation to one or more small cell radios of a small cell network based on information obtained through the small cell network and one or more parallel networks, wherein the one or more parallel networks include, at least in part, a wireless local area network (WLAN); and adjusting transmit power for one or more small cell radios of the small cell network based, at least in part, on the presence of one or more UE in relation to the one or more small cell radios of the small cell network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A communication system comprising:
a self-organizing network (SON) management system, comprising; a memory element for storing data; and a processor that executes instructions associated with the data, wherein the processor and memory element cooperate such that the communication system is configured for; determining a presence of one or more user equipment (UE) in relation to one or more small cell radios of a small cell network based on information obtained through the small cell network and one or more parallel networks, wherein the one or more parallel networks include, at least in part, a wireless local area network (WLAN); and adjusting transmit power for one or more small cell radios of the small cell network based, at least in part, on the presence of one or more UE in relation to the one or more small cell radios of the small cell network. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
