Methods and apparatus for parameter selection and conflict resolution for multiple radio access technologies

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions for causing a computer of a small cell access point, when performing configuration procedures, to:

• receive a first set of selectable first parameter values for a first radio access technology (RAT) transmission-related parameter for a first RAT entity and a second set of selectable second parameter values for a second RAT transmission-related parameter for a second RAT entity;
• select a first parameter value from the first set of selectable first parameter values and a second parameter value from the second set of selectable second parameter values based at least in part on a mapping function that maps between ones of the first set of selectable first parameter values for the first RAT transmission-related parameter and the second set of selectable second parameter values for the second RAT transmission-related parameter, wherein to select the instructions cause the computer to:
• generate a random value within a defined range,
• determine a parameter index value for selecting the first parameter value or the second parameter value based on a function of the random value, and
• select a remaining one of the first parameter value or the second parameter value based on the parameter index value and the mapping function;
• and
• communicate using at least one of the first parameter value of the first RAT transmission-related parameter for the first RAT and the second parameter value of the second RAT transmission-related parameter for the second RAT.

An apparatus of a small cell access point for performing configuration procedures, the apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving a first set of selectable first parameter values for a first radio access technology (RAT) transmission-related parameter for a first RAT entity and a second set of selectable second parameter values for a second RAT transmission-related parameter for a second RAT entity;
