Abstract:
In systems and methods of frequency band selection for wireless device communication, a first frequency band comprising a first channel bandwidth is associated with a first application type and a second frequency band comprising a second channel bandwidth is associated with a second application type. When a request to establish a communication session is received at an access node from a wireless device, an application type associated with the request, a frequency band for the communication session with the wireless device based on the application type from among the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and the communication session is established between the access node and the wireless device using the selected frequency band.
Abstract:
In systems and methods of reducing wireless communication signaling overhead, it is determined that communication resource request traffic from a plurality of wireless devices in communication with an access node to communicate with a communication network meets a first threshold. One of the plurality of wireless devices is selected to operate as a router wireless device based on a power storage level and an assigned modulation and coding scheme of each of the plurality of wireless devices. At least one of the unselected wireless devices is instructed to communicate with the communication network via the selected router wireless device.
Abstract:
In systems and methods of selecting access nodes for broadcast, signal strength metrics are received from a plurality of wireless devices, wherein the signal strength metrics are based on signals received by the plurality of wireless devices from a plurality of access nodes. A first signal strength criteria is determined for each of the wireless devices based on the received signal strength metrics, and wireless devices for which the first signal strength criteria meets a threshold are selected from among the plurality of wireless devices. A second signal strength criteria is determined for each of the plurality of access nodes. A minimum number of the access nodes is selected wherein the second signal strength criteria meets the threshold for each of the selected wireless devices, and a multicast transmission is transmitted from the selected access nodes to the selected wireless devices.
Abstract:
A database is maintained that maps source cell regions to channel condition on the neighbor cell(s) coverage. The database also tracks whether the neighbor cell has better, weaker, or similar signal strength than the source cell. The channel condition and bitrate requirement of each wireless device being served by the source cell are also tracked. Once a particular neighbor cell has been selected for traffic offload (i.e., handover of one or more wireless devices), the source cell uses the database to select which wireless devices should send measurement reports. Those wireless devices with channel conditions that are mapped in the database to the target cell's coverage are designated for possible selection. Among these wireless devices, either the wireless devices with the highest or lowest bitrate requirements are selected to provide measurement reports for the target cell.

Abstract:
A system and method of scheduling communication in a wireless communication network are provided. An access node can receive an uplink scheduling request. The access node can communicate with a wireless device over a first and second frequency band. The access node can determine an interference indicator associated with the wireless device. The access node can determine a first scheduling scheme for the first frequency band and a second scheduling scheme for the second frequency band based on the uplink request and the interference indicator. The first scheduling scheme can comprise a first uplink portion and the second scheduling scheme can comprise a second uplink portion. The first uplink portion does not overlap the second uplink portion. The wireless device can be instructed to communicate uplink data to the access node during the first uplink portion and uplink data to the access node during the section uplink portion.
Abstract:
A communication session is established between a wireless device and a first access node, where the wireless device is located in a first coverage area of the first access node and located in a second coverage area of a second access node. A communication schedule is determined for the first access node and the second access node to communicate with the wireless device. The communication schedule can comprise a first portion and a second portion. Communication is performed between the first access node and the wireless device during the first portion, and between the second access node and the wireless device during the second portion.
Abstract:
In systems and methods of managing wireless communication link resources, a static overhead load, a data traffic load, and a signaling load are determined of a wireless communication link between an access node and at least one wireless device. A wireless communication link load is calculated based on the static overhead load, the data traffic load, and the signaling load, and a load control process is performed when the wireless communication link load meets a load criteria.
Abstract:
A throughput of information received from an access node at an application running on a wireless device is determined, and a modulation and coding scheme assigned to the wireless device to communicate with the access node is identified. Based on the throughput and the modulation and coding scheme, a number of free physical resource blocks per frame of the access node is estimated, to enable a determination of access node capacity.
Abstract:
In systems and methods of wireless device communication using carrier priority, it is determined for a wireless device using a lower priority carrier that a signal strength of a higher priority carrier meets a signal strength criteria. It is further determined that a loading of the higher priority carrier meets a loading criteria. When the loading meets the loading criteria and the signal strength meets the signal strength criteria, a handover is performed of the wireless device from the lower priority carrier to the higher priority carrier.
