    Abstract: A method for network controlled beam sweeping, may include receiving, at a network control device, location data associated with user equipment (UE) devices within a service area. The method may also include identifying, at each beam sweeping position of a plurality of beam sweeping positions, geo-bins having at least one UE device located within. The method includes receiving, at the network control device, networking requirements and traffic distribution data associated with the UE devices, and determining a sweeping weight for each identified geo-bin, where the sweeping weight is based on the networking requirements and the traffic distribution data associated with the at least one UE device in a geo-bin, and determining a sweeping factor for each beam sweeping position based upon the sweeping weights. The method may also include determining a beam sweeping pattern for all the beam sweeping positions based on the sweeping factors.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to more efficiently use subcarriers allocated to a narrowband channel of a wireless telecommunications network. For example, a base station may identify a middle subcarrier of the narrowband channel and partition the middle subcarrier into additional subcarriers. The additional subcarriers may include a direct circuit (DC) subcarrier occupying a middle bandwidth of the middle subcarrier, and a synchronization subcarrier and a paging subcarrier on either side of the DC subcarrier. The synchronization subcarrier may be dedicated exclusively to communicating synchronization information, and the paging subcarrier may be dedicated exclusively to communicating paging information. The synchronization information may include a preamble signal, a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), and a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) that are repeated over consecutive frames. The paging information may include paging codes that devices may passively listen for in order to be paged by the base station.

    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 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.

    Abstract: A base station may receive repetitive data transmitted using a particular set of radio resources The base station may apply a first orthogonal pattern, assigned to a first user equipment (UE), to a segment of subframes of the received repetitive data. The base station may apply a second orthogonal pattern, assigned to a second UE, to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data. The base station may determine first repetitive data, transmitted by the first UE using the particular set of radio resources, based on applying the first orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data. The base station may determine second repetitive data, transmitted by the second UE using the particular set of radio resources, based on applying the second orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data.

    Abstract: A network device may determine a sequence. The sequence may identify an order in which particular unlicensed bands, of a plurality of unlicensed bands in an unlicensed spectrum, are to be assigned for the transmission of data flows. The network device may provide information identifying the sequence via a licensed band to a user device to cause the user device to transmit or receive the data flows via the particular unlicensed bands identified in the sequence in the order in which the particular unlicensed bands are to be assigned; and transmit or receive, to or from the user device, the data flows via the particular unlicensed and the licensed bands.
