1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at an eNodeB, a communication message from a mobile device;
determining a first timing advance (TA) information associated with the communication message received from the mobile device;
determining based on the first TA information if the mobile device is located in an area susceptible to a communication failure; and
upon determining that the mobile device is located in the area susceptible to the communication failure, temporality transmitting messages from the eNodeB to the mobile device at an increased power level.

Abstract
A method for improving LTE connectivity in known trouble areas is disclosed. The method includes receiving, at an eNodeB, a communication message from a mobile device and determining a first timing advance (TA) information associated with the communication message received from the mobile device. Based on the first TA information it is determined if the mobile device is located in an area susceptible to a communication failure. Upon determining that the mobile device is located in the area susceptible to the communication failure, messages are temporality transmitted from the eNodeB to the mobile device at an increased power level.

11. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored instructions comprising instructions that when executed cause a programmable device to:
-
receive a communication message from a mobile device at an eNodeB; determine a first timing advance (TA) information associated with the communication message received from the mobile device; determine based on the first TA information if the mobile device is located in an area susceptible to communication failure; and upon the determination that the mobile device is located in the area susceptible to communication failure, temporarily transmit messages from the eNodeB to the mobile device at an increased power level. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A device comprising:
-
a processor; a wireless communication module communicatively coupled to the processor; a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor on which are stored instructions that when executed configure the processor to; receive a communication message from a mobile device at the wireless communication module; determine a first timing advance (TA) information associated with the communication message received from the mobile device; determine based on the first TA information that the mobile device is located in an area susceptible to communication failure; and upon the determination that the mobile device is located in the area susceptible to communication failure, temporarily transmit messages from the wireless communication module to the mobile device at an increased power level. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
