Abstract
Systems and methods for providing host-neutral small cells include communicating with a first User Equipment (UE) at a small cell. The first UE communicates with the small cell via a first Evolved Node B (eNodeB) base station associated with a first Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The small cell further communicates with a second UE. The second UE communicates with the small cell via a second eNodeB base station associated with a second EPC. Although a different wireless carrier may be associated with each of the first and second UEs, they may both communicate with the host-neutral small cell.
