Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a communication system are provided. A network node of the first network can receive a request from a wireless device associated with the first network to establish a data communication session over a second network through an access node of the second network. A status of the access node of the second network can be determined based on an access node identifier. A location of the wireless device can be determined at the network node of the first network. A network condition of the first network can be determined based on the location of the wireless device. The request to establish the data communication session over the second network can be granted when the network conditions of the first network are less than a threshold and the access node of the second network does not have an approved roaming status.

Abstract: A first throughput value is determined comprising a first total amount of data transmitted in non-final data packets from a sending network element to a wireless device and a second total amount of data in final data packets transmitted to the wireless device during a time period. A second throughput value is determined comprising the first total amount of data transmitted in non-final data packets to the wireless device during the time period less an idle time of a wireless communication link between an access node and the wireless device during the time period and less a total time to deliver the final data packets. A difference of the first throughput value and the second throughput value is calculated, and a traffic management procedure is performed when the difference of the first throughput value and the second throughput value meets a throughput threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring communications in a communication network are provided. A rate of overhead messages received from a wireless device is monitored and compared to a predetermined threshold. When the rate of the overhead messages received exceeds the predetermined threshold, a type of application operating on the wireless device is identified. A congestion control mechanism mode is determined when the rate of overhead messages received exceeds the predetermined threshold. A variable of a data flow mechanism is modified based on the type of application operating on the wireless device and the congestion mechanism mode.

Abstract: A database is maintained that maps source cell regions to channel condition on the neighbor cell(s) coverage. The database also tracks whether the neighbor cell has better, weaker, or similar signal strength than the source cell. The channel condition and bitrate requirement of each wireless device being served by the source cell are also tracked. Once a particular neighbor cell has been selected for traffic offload (i.e., handover of one or more wireless devices), the source cell uses the database to select which wireless devices should send measurement reports. Those wireless devices with channel conditions that are mapped in the database to the target cell's coverage are designated for possible selection. Among these wireless devices, either the wireless devices with the highest or lowest bitrate requirements are selected to provide measurement reports for the target cell.

Abstract: In operation, a plurality of data packets is received from a wireless device in communication with a first network, the data packets comprising an indication of first network congestion. The plurality of data packets are examined to determine an application requirement and a data rate of an application running on the wireless device. When a number of indications of first network congestion in relation to the data rate meets a congestion criteria, which can be based on the application requirement, a handover is performed to hand over the wireless device to a second network.

Abstract: At least one call paging message is sent to a wireless device to establish a call session with the wireless device, and it is determined whether a response is received from the wireless device to any of the at least one call paging message. When the call session is not established and a voice message is received which is intended for the wireless device, a timer comprising a timer value is initiated, wherein the timer value is based on a number of the at least one call paging message sent to the wireless device and whether a response is received from the wireless device to any of the at least one call paging message. A voice message page is sent to the wireless device when the timer expires, and a channel is established with the wireless device to provide the voice message to the wireless device.

Abstract: Performing MU-MIMO in a wireless communication network based on determining that a load level of a sector deployed by an access node is below a load threshold, determining that one or more signal conditions within the sector meet a signal threshold, and disabling a MU-MIMO operating mode for wireless devices within the sector. The signal conditions can include current or historical signal conditions. An exemplary current signal condition includes an interference or other signal metric of the at least two wireless devices different by a threshold amount.
