Abstract:
In one example embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes an antenna that receives, in a first wireless network, a first identifier of a second wireless network access point. The apparatus also includes a processor that processes data received by the antenna. The apparatus transmits, in the first wireless network, the first identifier of the second wireless network access point. The apparatus establishes a tunnel to the second wireless network. The antenna transmits a second identifier of the second wireless network access point.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for improving resource management in Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) networks include a Spectrum Access System (SAS) in coordination with one or more CBRS devices (CBSDs) and a Digital Network Architecture center (DNA-C). Resource allocation decisions can be based on one or more policies such as a priority, a preemption capability index and/or a preemption vulnerability index associated with the CBSDs. Resource allocation can also be based on inter-access point (AP) coordination between two or more CBSDs and comparative performance indicators of the two or more CBSDs. Managing interference between two or more groups of CBSDs can be based on the inter-AP coordination and group identifiers associated with the two or more groups. Bandwidth allocation can be modified to the two or more CBSDs and seamless transition can be implemented using timers.
Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms for a soft migration from an initial or source Spectrum Access System (SAS) of a source SAS provider to a destination SAS of a destination SAS provider for a base station operative to serve as a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) network are described. While the base station operates to facilitate communications for one or more user equipments (UEs) and is registered with the source SAS for spectrum access, the base station may communicate in one or more message exchanges for registering with the destination SAS and for receiving from the destination SAS a grant for spectrum access to spectrum according to a plurality of operating parameters. After communicating in a message exchange with the destination SAS in a heartbeat procedure for receiving an authorization to use the granted spectrum, the base station may deregister with the source SAS.

Abstract:
A first wireless access point uses a first radio access technology in a heterogeneous wireless network. The heterogeneous wireless network includes the first wireless access point and a second wireless access point using a second radio access technology. The first wireless access point determines one or more performance characteristics of traffic management and traffic between a first client device and the first wireless access point using the first radio access technology and the second wireless access point using the second radio access technology. The first wireless device (access point or some other network device) calculates one or more traffic indicators based on these performance characteristics. The first wireless device further communicates at least one of the one or more traffic indicators to the second wireless access point. The communicated traffic indicators are for use by the second wireless access point to schedule radio resources of the second RAT.

Abstract:
The disclosed technology relates to a process of dynamically assigning operational parameters for access points within a CBRS (Citizen Broadband Radio Service) network. In particular, the disclosed technology monitors for and detects interference between nearby access points and user equipment devices that may belong to the same enterprise or to different enterprises. Machine learning processes are used to revise the operational parameters that were initially assigned by the Spectrum Access System (SAS). These processes are also used to suggest an updated set of operational parameters to the SAS for the access points. The dynamic assignment reduces interference experienced by the access point with respect to nearby other access points and/or nearby other user equipment. The dynamic assignment aims to improve a quality of communication between the access point and its associated user equipment.
