1. A mobile base station, comprising:
- a processor configured to provide a cellular base station functionality;
a first access radio electrically coupled to the processor for providing a cellular access network inside and outside a vehicle;
a first cellular backhaul radio electrically coupled to the processor for providing a backhaul connection to a cellular network via a cell; and
a global positioning system (GPS) module electrically coupled to the processor for determining a location of the mobile base station,wherein the processor is configured to transmit the location of the mobile base station to the cellular network, disable the first access radio for providing the cellular access network outside the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion, and enable the first access radio when the vehicle is stationary with a power level determined using a self-organizing network (SON) algorithm.

Abstract
Systems and methods for an in-vehicle base station are described. In one embodiment, a mobile base station is disclosed comprising a first access radio for providing an access network inside and outside a vehicle; a second backhaul radio for providing a backhaul connection to a macro cell; and a global positioning system (GPS) module for determining a location of the mobile base station, and for transmitting the location of the mobile base station to a core network, wherein a transmit power of the first access radio is configured to increase or decrease based on a speed of the vehicle.
