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 method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium provide to generate a paging message that includes a group identifier that identifies a group of end devices to which a paging pertains; broadcast the paging message in response to the generation; start a timer in response to the broadcast of the paging message; generate, in response to a first time interval calculated by the timer, a first message that includes at least one of a sub-group identifier, which identifies a sub-group of the end devices of the group to which the paging pertains, or an individual identifier, which identifies one of the end devices of the group to which the paging pertains, wherein the first message is generated based on a radio access-radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) value; and broadcast the first message in response to the generation of the first message.
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 device establishes a first transmission control protocol (TCP) connection with a client device associated with a wireless network, and establishes a second TCP connection with a server device associated with the wireless network. The device also provides a first TCP window size to the client device via the first TCP connection, and provides a second TCP window size to the server device via the second TCP connection, where the first TCP window size is different than the second TCP window size.
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, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium to obtain a traffic volume value that indicates a volume of traffic to and/or from a radio node, a value that indicates a class of the radio node, or a received signal strength value that indicates a received signal strength of a macro signal received by the radio node; calculate a delay time value based on traffic volume value, the value that indicates the class, or the received signal strength value; and transmit the delay time value to the radio node, wherein the delay time value indicates a time period to wait, by the radio node, before attempting to authenticate and register with one or more network devices.
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.
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 communication apparatus includes a wireless transceiver that transmits data packets including background traffic data packets and a transceiver control unit that controls transmission by the wireless transceiver of the data packets. The transceiver control unit receives, prior to their transmission, all data packets that are to be transmitted by the wireless transceiver. The transceiver control unit includes an aggregation unit that aggregates all background traffic data packets received by the transceiver control unit over an aggregation period of a certain maximum duration and causes the wireless transceiver to wirelessly transmit the aggregated background traffic data packets only after the aggregation period has expired.
Abstract:
A method performed by a wireless node includes receiving a data flow associated with user devices; performing a packet inspection of the data flow; determining whether a network address of the wireless node matches another network address associated with the data flow; converting the other network address to a layer 2 identifier when the other network address matches the network address; establishing a bearer link within the wireless node based on the layer 2 identifier; and offloading the data flow from layers of a network, which are higher relative to the wireless node, to the bearer link, wherein the data flow does not traverse the layers.
