Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to the dynamic modification of the serving band used by small cells in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) environment. The serving band may be modified to mitigate interference with macrocell eMBMS services. In various implementations, and based on scheduled eMBMS services, a small cell may switch the frequency band of the small cell, suspend service, and/or reduce the transmit power of the small cell.

Abstract: A small cell device may communicate with a user device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, etc.) via a range extender device that extends the effective range of the small cell device to the user device. The small cell device, the range extender device, and the user device may communicate with one another using channels of a licensed spectrum (e.g., traditional LTE channels). The range extender device may determine channel conditions corresponding to an unlicensed spectrum (e.g., 5 Gigahertz (GHz) Spectrum) and communicate the channel conditions to the small cell device. Based on the channel conditions, the small cell device and the range extender device may select downlink-only channels of the unlicensed spectrum and cause the downlink capabilities of the channels of the unlicensed spectrum to be augmented by the downlink capabilities of the downlink-only channels of the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: Systems and methods receive first traffic originating from a mobile device and second traffic originating from second devices tethered to the mobile device; tag the first traffic to indicate that the traffic originates from the mobile device; tag the second traffic to indicate that the traffic originates from the second devices; receive subscriber data that includes a first threshold and a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is associated with the first traffic originating from the mobile device and the second threshold is associated with the second traffic originating from the second devices tethered to the mobile device; determine that an amount of the second traffic exceeds the second threshold; rate limit the second traffic without rate limiting the first traffic when the amount of the second traffic exceeds the second threshold and an amount of the first traffic does not exceed the first threshold.

Abstract: A base station may obtain channel usage information identifying usage of one or more unlicensed radio frequency (RF) spectrum bands. The base station may select a selected band, of the one or more unlicensed RF spectrum bands, based on the channel usage information. The base station may select one or more RF channels, of multiple RF channels included in the selected band, based on a congestion value of the selected band. The congestion value may be determined based on values of the channel usage information corresponding to the selected band. The selected RF channel may include an impaired RF channel that may not permit full bandwidth utilization due to constraints. The base station may communicate with user equipment via the one or more RF channels of the selected band.

Abstract: A device may receive network congestion information relating to one or more connections. The network congestion information may identify respective utilizations of the one or more connections. The one or more connections may be associated with one or more access points. The device may cause the network congestion information to be provided to a set of user equipments (UEs) via a multicast transmission to cause one or more UEs, of the set of UEs, to switch from a first connection, of the one or more connections, to a second connection, of the one or more connections, based on the network congestion information. The one or more UEs may be connected to a network via a multicast connection.

Abstract: Carrier aggregation may be performed using licensed (e.g., LTE) and unlicensed (e.g., LTE-U) spectrum in which the amount of data associated with users may be separately tracked for the licensed and unlicensed communications. The tracking for the amount of licensed and unlicensed data may be performed at base stations associated with a wireless network. In some implementations, a base station may maintain a number of profiles that each indicate how and/or when carrier aggregation is to be divided or performed.

Abstract: A system may receive, from a base station, information indicating that a network congestion level associated with the base station satisfies a threshold, the network congestion level being a measurement of traffic associated with a network, and the network including the base station. The system may determine, based on the network congestion level satisfying the threshold, traffic flow information for a plurality of traffic flows associated with the base station. The system may identify a congestion-causing traffic flow, of the plurality of traffic flows, based on the traffic flow information. The system may provide information identifying the congestion-causing traffic flow.

Abstract: A server device may store information identifying that one or more first user devices, currently connected to a network device via a particular band, should continue to communicate via the particular band when a connection threshold, associated with the particular band, has been exceeded. The particular band may be associated with a multicast service that provides multicast content to the one or more first user devices via the particular band. The server device may determine that the connection threshold has been exceeded; identify a second user device, currently connected to the network device via the particular band, that should no longer communicate via the particular band when the connection threshold has been exceeded disconnected; and prevent the second user device from communicating via the particular band based on determining that the connection threshold has been exceeded and identifying the second user device.
