Abstract
Described herein are devices, networks, systems, media, and methods used to collect WT information and to alter, based on or taking the collected information into consideration, one or more parameters used to control a mode of operation in which WTs decide to operate. In this way the relative portions of WTs operating in a first or second mode in one or more regions can be automatically adjusted by a network control node modifying mode of operation control parameters which are then communicated to the WTs in the region in which the modified WT mode control parameter is to be used. The wireless terminals than make a decision as to the mode of operation in which to operate using the modified mode control parameter and one or more signal measurements or other information available to the WT making the mode of operation decision.
