Abstract: A system may include a plurality of wireless devices, each wireless device including a time source and configured to selectively communicate with at least one other of the plurality of wireless devices by way of a packet-based time precision protocol. The plurality of wireless devices may include a first wireless device and a second wireless device, the first wireless device being configured to determine whether the first wireless device and the second wireless device are in selective communication over a single-hop wireless link; determine a one-way delay over the single-hop wireless link by way of at least one packed-based time precision protocol message; and calculate a distance measurement between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based at least in part on the one-way delay.

Abstract: A system may include a macro cell base station configured to determine a service quality associated with the macro cell base station; determine whether the service quality is below a quality threshold; and instruct a small cell base station to switch from a sleep mode to an awake mode, when the service quality is below the quality threshold. The system may further include a small cell base station, located within a coverage area of the macro cell base station, configured to enter an awake mode, when instructed to enter the awake mode by the macro cell base station; and inform the macro cell base station that the small cell base station is in awake mode. The macro cell base station may be further configured to hand over one or more user devices to the small cell base station, when the small cell base station is in the awake mode.

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on content items being accessed by a plurality of UE devices through a first multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). The reporting server determines, for each content item being accessed, which of the UE devices is accessing the content item. The UE devices are then grouped by the accessed content items such that at least one content item is accessed by a first group of UE devices and not accessed by a second group of UE devices. The reporting server then sends data representing the first and second groups to a broadcast video provisioning system (BVPS) with a recommendation to split the MBSFN into second and third MBSFNs. In another implementation, the reporting server receives reports from fourth and fifth MBSFNs and recommends joining the fourth and fifth MBSFNs to form a sixth MBSFN if broadcast bandwidth requirements are met.

Abstract translation: 报告服务器通过第一多播/广播单频网络（MBSFN）接收由多个UE设备正在访问的内容项目的报告。 对于正在被访问的每个内容项目，报告服务器确定哪个UE设备正在访问该内容项目。 然后，UE设备被所访问的内容项目分组，使得至少一个内容项目被第一组UE设备访问，并且不被第二组UE设备访问。 然后，报告服务器将表示第一组和第二组的数据发送到广播视频供应系统（BVPS），建议将MBSFN分为第二和第三MBSFN。 在另一实现中，报告服务器从第四和第五MBSFN接收报告，并建议加入第四和第五MBSFN以形成第六MBSFN，如果满足广播带宽要求。

Abstract: A network device may receive, from a user device, a connection request. The connection request may correspond to a request to access a first network. The network device may determine a network congestion level associated with the first network. The network device may determine priority class information associated with the user device. The network device may selectively provide access to the first network based on the network congestion level and the priority class information. The network device may selectively provide access to a second network when access to the first network is denied.

Abstract translation: 网络设备可以从用户设备接收连接请求。 连接请求可以对应于访问第一网络的请求。 网络设备可以确定与第一网络相关联的网络拥塞级别。 网络设备可以确定与用户设备相关联的优先级等级信息。 网络设备可以基于网络拥塞级别和优先级等级信息选择性地提供对第一网络的接入。 当对第一网络的访问被拒绝时，网络设备可以选择性地提供对第二网络的访问。
