    Abstract: An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include requesting, by a user equipment (UE), a profile associated with a subscriber that provides information to facilitate automatic association of the UE with one or more access points of a wireless network, wherein the requesting includes requesting the profile using a Generic Advertisement Service (GAS) Initial Request frame; and sending the profile to the UE using a GAS Initial Response frame. The method can include configuring a Vendor Specific Information Element (VSIE) within an Advertisement Protocol Identifier for the GAS Initial Request frame and configuring the VSIE to indicate an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) query for the profile. The method can also include configuring another VSIE within an Advertisement Protocol Identifier for the GAS Initial Response frame and configuring the VSIE to indicate an ANQP query response including the profile.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamically assigning devices to specific channels in the CBRS band. One or more dedicated channels within the CBRS band can be selected and a boost channel device group can be formed by exclusively allocating the one or more dedicated channel to the boost channel device group. Further, a normal channel device group can be formed by allocating, to the normal channel device group, one or more channels in the CBRS band that are separate from the one or more dedicated channels allocated to the boost channel device group. One or more devices communicating in the CBRS band can be selectively assigned to either the boost channel device group or the normal channel device group to selectively control communications in the CBRS band over the one or more dedicated channels utilized by the boost channel device group.

    Abstract: In one example, a wireless Access Point (AP) is configured to provide network connectivity between a User Equipment (UE) and a private wireless network. The wireless AP obtains, from the private wireless network, an indication that the UE is unregistered with the private wireless network. In response to the indication that the UE is unregistered with the private wireless network, the wireless AP provides, to the private wireless network, an indication to initiate an emergency attach procedure with respect to the UE. In response to the indication to initiate the emergency attach procedure, the wireless AP obtains, from the private wireless network, an indication that the UE is authorized to access the private wireless network. In response to the indication that the UE is authorized to access the private wireless network, the wireless AP provides guest access to the private wireless network on behalf of the UE.
