Abstract: Systems and methods are described for cross scheduling transmissions from an access node. Data may be communicated between an access node and a wireless device over a first frequency band. A first application and a second application associated with the wireless device may be determined, where each of the applications comprises an application type. Based on the application type one of the first frequency band and a second frequency band may be selected for the first application and the second application, where the selected frequency bands are different. Transmissions associated with the first application may then be scheduled over the frequency band selected for the first application and transmissions associated with the second application may then be scheduled over the frequency band selected for the second application.

Abstract: In systems and methods of determining a transmission order of packets in a wireless communication network, one method includes determining an efficiency of time frequency frame allocations performed by a network node over a predetermined period of time. The method also includes determining when the efficiency of the time frequency frame allocations is below a threshold. The method further includes rearranging two or more time frequency frames in one or more time transmission intervals when the efficiency of the time frequency frame allocations is determined to be below the threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining an access node for a wireless device. An increased signal level for a first signal and an adjustment value based on the increased signal level may be determined. An indication of the adjustment value and the first signal may be transmitted from a first access node.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sending data packets to a wireless device are provided. An access node can determine a number of wireless devices in communication with the access node that meets a signal quality criteria. The access node can determine when the number of wireless devices that meets the signal quality criteria exceeds a threshold. The access node can receive from a content node first multimedia broadcast service (MBMS) data. The access node can encode the first MBMS data into second MBMS data when the number of wireless devices that meets the signal quality criteria exceeds the threshold. The encoding can be based on the number of wireless devices in communication with the access node that meets the signal quality criteria, a load at the content node, a load at the access node, and a bit error rate of each wireless device in communication with the access node.

Abstract: An application requirement is identified of a wireless device in communication with an access node using a first radio access technology, and a probability is determined that a communication session of the wireless device using the first radio access technology will be dropped based on a wireless device mobility and characteristics of a plurality of neighbor access nodes of the access node. A handover threshold is calculated based on the application requirement and the determined probability, and when a signal level of the first radio access technology received at the wireless device meets the handover threshold, the wireless device is instructed to change from communicating with the access node using the first radio access technology to communicating with the access node using the second radio access technology.
