Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on content items being accessed by a plurality of UE devices through a first multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). The reporting server determines, for each content item being accessed, which of the UE devices is accessing the content item. The UE devices are then grouped by the accessed content items such that at least one content item is accessed by a first group of UE devices and not accessed by a second group of UE devices. The reporting server then sends data representing the first and second groups to a broadcast video provisioning system (BVPS) with a recommendation to split the MBSFN into second and third MBSFNs. In another implementation, the reporting server receives reports from fourth and fifth MBSFNs and recommends joining the fourth and fifth MBSFNs to form a sixth MBSFN if broadcast bandwidth requirements are met.

Abstract translation: 报告服务器通过第一多播/广播单频网络（MBSFN）接收由多个UE设备正在访问的内容项目的报告。 对于正在被访问的每个内容项目，报告服务器确定哪个UE设备正在访问该内容项目。 然后，UE设备被所访问的内容项目分组，使得至少一个内容项目被第一组UE设备访问，并且不被第二组UE设备访问。 然后，报告服务器将表示第一组和第二组的数据发送到广播视频供应系统（BVPS），建议将MBSFN分为第二和第三MBSFN。 在另一实现中，报告服务器从第四和第五MBSFN接收报告，并建议加入第四和第五MBSFN以形成第六MBSFN，如果满足广播带宽要求。

Abstract: A network device may receive, from a user device, a connection request. The connection request may correspond to a request to access a first network. The network device may determine a network congestion level associated with the first network. The network device may determine priority class information associated with the user device. The network device may selectively provide access to the first network based on the network congestion level and the priority class information. The network device may selectively provide access to a second network when access to the first network is denied.

Abstract: A network device within an outdoor broadband unit receives, via Ethernet over coaxial cable signals, Internet Protocol (IP) data traffic originating from a device within a local area network (LAN). The IP data traffic is buffered in a memory within the outdoor broadband unit. A forwarding plane module of the network device sends the IP data traffic toward a destination via an air interface for a wide area network (WAN). The network device receives, via different Ethernet over coaxial cable signals, IP control traffic originating from the device within the LAN. A control plane module of the network device implements the instructions in the IP control traffic to initiate a test function for the network device.
