Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a network control component, an enhanced subscriber profile identifier (E-SPID) associated with at least one machine type communications (MTC) user device from a home subscriber server (HSS). The method includes determining whether the E-SPID is in a first range of E-SPID values, wherein the first range of E-SPID values corresponds to a delay that exceeds a threshold, and interacting with a self-organizing network (SON) controller that interacts an operation administration maintenance (OAM) component to control and define a modified E-SPID based on network traffic and coverage in response to a determination that the E-SPID is in the first range of E-SPID values. The method further includes sending the modified E-SPID to at least one enhanced evolved node b (eNodeB) associated with the at least one MTC user device, wherein the at least one enhanced eNodeB is operable to perform access control and scheduling for the at least one MTC user device based on the E-SPID.

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium having instructions to store cell reselection parameters; select a first set of at least one of candidate frequency bands or candidate frequencies based on a first parameter of the cell reselection parameters that indicates candidate frequency bands or candidate frequencies from which can be selected for cell reselection; perform inter-frequency measurement; count a number of inter-frequency measurements performed; determine whether a cell reselection criteria has been satisfied based on one or more signal threshold values; select a new cell in response to a determination that the cell reselection criteria has been met; and determine whether to select a second set of at least one of one or more candidate frequency bands or one or more candidate frequencies indicated by the first parameter in response to a determination that the cell reselection criteria has not been met.
Abstract:
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to establish a radio connection with an end device; obtain context information pertaining to the end device; analyze the context information; determine whether to not provide handover to the end device in response to the analysis of the context information; and transmit, to the end device, multiple thresholds that indicate when a partial handover is to be invoked and when a completive handover is to be invoked, in response to a determination that handover is to be provided to the end device.
Abstract:
A base station includes an antenna to receive a first frequency band associated with first signals carrying machine-to-machine (M2M) data, and a second frequency band associated with second signals carrying user equipment (UE) data; a radio frequency interface to connect to the antenna, and configured to receive the first signals and the second signals; at least one digital front end to generate, based on the first signals, first time-aligned symbols, generate, based on the second signals, second time-aligned symbols, store the first time-aligned symbols at a first portion of a buffer, and store the second time-aligned symbols at a second portion of the buffer; and a processor to convert, based on contents stored at the first portion of the buffer, the first time-aligned symbols into the M2M data, and convert, based on contents stored at the second portion of the buffer, the second time-aligned symbols into the UE data.
Abstract:
A device may determine to initiate a location determination for a base station. The device may identify a set of positioning measurements associated with the location determination. The device may identify a set of other devices to be associated with the set of positioning measurements. The device may provide configuration information for the set of positioning measurements to the set of other devices. The device may determine information associated with the set of positioning measurements based on providing the configuration information. The device may determine a location in which the base station is located based on determining the information associated with the set of positioning measurements.
Abstract:
A base station may receive a resource request, from a device, that includes a request to access a radio resource. The base station may determine a device class to which the device belongs. The base station may determine an amount of radio resources permitted to be allocated to devices belonging to the device class, may determine an amount of radio resources being utilized by devices belonging to the device class, and may compare the amounts. The base station may determine whether radio resources are available to be allocated to the device based on comparing the amounts, and may process the resource request based on the determination. The base station may grant the resource request when radio resources are available to be allocated to the device, and may deny or postpone the resource request when radio resources are not available to be allocated to the device.
Abstract:
A system may be configured to determine a measure of end-to-end latency associated with traffic sent from a first user device to a second user device, the traffic being sent via at least one radio access network (“RAN”); determine that the measure of end-to-end latency exceeds a threshold latency; and output, based on determining that the measure of end-to-end latency exceeds the threshold latency, one or more parameters to the RAN. The one or more parameters may cause the RAN to elevate a priority associated with the traffic when transported via the RAN.
Abstract:
A method may include transmitting multiple antenna beams to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and determining a location of the UAV. The method may also include identifying a network slice to service the UAV, assigning the identified network slice to the UAV and performing antenna beam management for the UAV while the UAV is in flight.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a radio access network (RAN) may obtain data rate information from a server device. The server device may be associated with an application and the data rate information may be associated with the application. The RAN may determine, based on the data rate information, one or more data rate parameters associated with the application. The one or more data rate parameters may include at least one of one or more radio frequency parameters, one or more network loading parameters, one or more mobility parameters, or an available data rate parameter. The RAN may transmit, to the server device, the one or more data rate parameters.
Abstract:
A device determines a periodicity of downstream traffic destined for a User Equipment device (UE) and sets a value of at least one Discontinuous Reception (DRx) cycle length parameter to compensate for the determined periodicity of the downstream traffic. The device generates UE DRx instructions that include the at least one DRx cycle length parameter and sends the UE DRx instructions to the UE for implementing DRx at the UE.
