    Abstract: Methods, systems, and processing nodes for ensuring uplink service for wireless devices capable of uplink split mode in EN-DC using both 4G LTE and 5G NR RATs, by selecting serving access nodes that are also capable of uplink split mode and/or coupled to large quantities of antenna elements relative to other potential serving access nodes. In particular, such serving access nodes are selected for wireless devices that exhibit one or more of a low power headroom, a high uplink buffer, or a high mobility.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and processing nodes are configured to manage wireless devices in a wireless network, such as a network that employs MIMO techniques, by receiving a request from a new wireless device for access to a wireless network using a first communication protocol, the wireless network using at least two communication protocols simultaneously, determining that a number of wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol of the at least two communication protocols meets a threshold number of wireless device, and adjusting an operating parameter of a multi-element antenna for communicating signals between an access node and the wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol when it is determined that the number of wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol meets the threshold number of wireless devices.

    Abstract: Monitoring a MIMO pairing efficiency of a sector to determine whether or not to enable/disable inter-band carrier aggregation. If the pairing efficiency (whether predicted or actual) is high, inter-band carrier aggregation is disabled, and if the pairing efficiency is low, then inter-band carrier aggregation is enabled. The inter-band carrier aggregation utilizes a low-frequency carrier as a primary component carrier and a high-frequency carrier as a secondary component carrier. The MIMO mode of operation utilizes the high-frequency carrier for control transmissions.

    Abstract: Ensuring a quality of service for a wireless device attached to an access node by receiving a data packet at a routing node communicably coupled to the access node, wherein the data packet is transmitted by the wireless device to the access node using a bearer that is associated with a first priority level, determining that the data packet is marked with a first quality of service indicator that is associated with a second priority level that is lower than the first priority level, and marking the data packet with a second quality of service indicator that is associated with the first priority level prior to forwarding the data packet to a destination node. The routing node comprises a cell site router configured to receive the data packet from the access node, and the priority levels include QoS parameters such as DSCP and QCI values.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and processing nodes for allocating resources to a control channel based on a number of wireless devices determined to be near a cell edge of an access node. An exemplary method for allocating resources to a control channel includes determining a number of wireless devices that are located near an edge of a coverage area of an access node, and adjusting an amount of resources scheduled in the control channel based on the determined number of wireless devices.

    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include systems, methods, and nodes for selecting a donor for a relay wireless device. Candidate signal arcs of a predetermined angle for a relay wireless device that do not meet an interference criteria are determined. Signals levels are scanned for the relay wireless device for signals received from a plurality of donor access nodes, the scanning iterating over the determined candidate signal arcs that do not meet the interference criteria. Candidate donor access nodes with a received signal level at the relay wireless device that meets a signal level criteria for each candidate signal arc based on the scanning are determined. And a donor access node is selected for the relay wireless device based on the determined candidate donor access nodes.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a wireless communication system are provided. A network node can receive a request from the wireless device to establish communication with the first access node. A network node can receive an indication from an authorization node that a wireless device is not authorized to communicate with a first access node. The network node can transmit a message denying the request to establish communication with the first access node to the wireless device based on the indication from the authorization node. The network node can receive a request from the wireless device to establish communication with a second access node. The network node can determine that the wireless device is authorized to establish communication with the second access node. The network node can transmit a message granting the request to establish communication with the second access node to the wireless device.

    Abstract: In systems and methods of managing frequency band selection for a wireless device, a first signal level of a first frequency band and a second signal level of a second frequency band received at a wireless device are monitored, wherein the first frequency band comprises a lower frequency band than the second frequency band. A first signal level difference is determined between the first signal level and the second signal level, and the wireless device is instructed to communicate with the access node over the second frequency band when the first signal level difference meets a first signal level difference criteria based on a decrease of the second signal level.
