    Abstract: A Component Carrier (“CC”) controller may monitor usage, by a set of user equipment (“UE”), of radio resources provided by an access node, of a wireless telecommunications network, that utilizes one or more CCs. The CC controller may optimize coverage and/or capacity of the access node by adjusting the number of CCs that are active at the access node, and the power that is allocated for each active CC in response to monitoring radio resource usage that exceeds one or more first thresholds, or monitoring radio resource usage that is below one or more second thresholds.

    Abstract: A device is configured to create an account including a plurality of members and a shared data plan. The device stores a content associated with the account and the shared data plan is set up to be charged for data used on an operating network to provide the content to the plurality of members associated with a plurality of operator networks. Further, the device provides the content to a user device associated with a member of the plurality of members. The content is provided through the operator network. The device charges the shared data plan for the amount of data used by the operator network to provide the content to the user device without causing a data plan between the member and the operator network to be charged for the amount of data.

    Abstract: A device may receive a request, from a user equipment (UE), to connect to a network. The device may receive antenna information indicating that the UE has a single antenna, and the device may receive device type information indicating a device type of the UE or network resource requirements associated with the UE. The device may obtain network policy information, relating to the UE, based on the antenna information and/or the device type information. The network policy information may indicate one or more policy rules associated with allocating network resources. The device may determine a quantity of network resources to allocate based on the network policy information, and the device may allocate the quantity of network resources for the UE.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein may allow for the seamless and efficient use of multiple radio access technologies (“RATs”), such as 4G and 5G RATs. A virtualized base station may be used, which processes traffic sent to and/or received from a user equipment (“UE”) via 4G and 5G RATs. The virtualized base station may include separate protocol stacks for the separate RATs. One RAT may be the “master” RAT, and the protocol stack for the mast RAT may communicate with a core network via a General Packet Radio (“GPRS”) Tunneling Protocol (“GTP”) tunnel. In the downlink direction, the virtual base station may determine via which RAT traffic, received from the core network, should be sent to the UE by identifying quality of service class indicators (“QCIs”) associated with the downlink traffic.

    Abstract: A base station may include one or more processors to receive repetitive data transmitted using a set of subcarriers of a physical resource block (PRB); apply a first orthogonal pattern, assigned to a first user equipment (UE), to a segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; apply a second orthogonal pattern, assigned to a second UE, to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data, the second orthogonal pattern being different from the first orthogonal pattern; determine first repetitive data, transmitted by the first UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the first orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data; and/or determine second repetitive data, transmitted by the second UE using the set of subcarriers, based on applying the second orthogonal pattern to the segment of subframes of the received repetitive data.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to estimate a load for each access mode of multiple access modes of a wireless station, wherein the access modes include a first mode and one or more other modes; calculate a loading metric for each access mode based on its corresponding load in response to the estimation; calculate an order of priority for each access mode by which one or more end devices are to use to connect to the wireless station, based on the loading metric of each access mode; generate a first message that includes the order of priority; and broadcast the first message within a cell of the wireless station.

    Abstract: User devices may search for cellular networks that provide the best available service, such as Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) networks. If such a network is unavailable, the user device may connect to a different network, such as a Code Division Multiple Access 2000 1X network. When connected to the 1X network, the user device may not attempt to search for the LTE network unless the user device enters an idle mode, even if the LTE network becomes available while connected to the 1X network. Systems and/or methods, described herein, may “force” the user device into idle mode, while the user device is actively communicating via the 1X network, so that the user device may search for the LTE network. Forcing the user device into idle mode may include interrupting communications, which may include causing traffic, output by network applications of the user device, to not be transmitted from the user device.

    Abstract translation: 用户设备可以搜索提供最佳可用服务的蜂窝网络,例如长期演进(“LTE”)网络。 如果这样的网络不可用,则用户设备可以连接到不同的网络,例如码分多址2000 1X网络。 当连接到1X网络时,用户设备可能不会尝试搜索LTE网络,除非用户设备进入空闲模式,即使LTE网络在连接到1X网络时可用。 在此描述的系统和/或方法可以“强制”用户设备进入空闲模式,同时用户设备通过1X网络主动通信,使得用户设备可以搜索LTE网络。 强制用户设备进入空闲模式可能包括中断通信,其可以包括使流量,用户设备的网络应用的输出不被从用户设备发送。
