Abstract: In systems and methods of reducing wireless communication signaling overhead, it is determined that communication resource request traffic from a plurality of wireless devices in communication with an access node to communicate with a communication network meets a first threshold. One of the plurality of wireless devices is selected to operate as a router wireless device based on a power storage level and an assigned modulation and coding scheme of each of the plurality of wireless devices. At least one of the unselected wireless devices is instructed to communicate with the communication network via the selected router wireless device.

Abstract: In systems and methods for managing call admission, a channel request comprising a first service level priority is received from a first wireless device at an access node. Channels of the access node associated with a second service level priority greater than or equal to the first service level priority are selected. A loading of the selected channels is determined, and the loading of the selected channels is compared to a loading criteria. When the determined loading meets the loading criteria, a preemption attempt is performed of a channel associated with a third service level priority less than the first service level priority.

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: A system and method of allocating communication resources to a wireless device in a wireless communication network are provided. A first subframe configuration can be assigned to a first carrier of a frequency band of an access node. A second subframe configuration different from the first subframe configuration can be assigned to a second carrier of the frequency band. The access node can receive a resource request associated with an application running on the wireless device. An application requirement of the application running on the wireless device can be determined. The wireless device can be instructed to establish communication with the access node over one of the first carrier and the second carrier during a communication session based on the determined application requirement.

Abstract: In systems and methods of determining the availability of a radio access technology, a first message is received from a wireless device in communication with an access node using a first radio access technology, wherein the first message comprises a request of the availability of a second radio access technology at the access node. Based on the first message, an identifier of the wireless device and an identifier of the first access node are determined. Based on the access node identifier, it is identified whether the second radio access technology is available at the access node, and a second message is sent to the wireless device instructing the wireless device to scan for the second radio access technology when it is available.

Abstract: A first wireless communication network stores a buffer of data that is concurrently being sent to a wireless device via a first active connection with a second wireless communication network. A first indicator is received by the wireless device. The first indicator is associated with an availability of an access node of the first wireless communication network to serve the wireless device. Based on the first indicator and based on a second indicator of a signal strength associated with the access node, the wireless device ends the first active connection. The first wireless communication network provisions a second active connection to the wireless device. The first wireless communication network provisions the second active connection in response to a request by the wireless device. Data not already received by the wireless device is provided, via the second active connection, to the wireless device.

Abstract: In systems and methods for reducing network traffic generated by a plurality of wireless devices operating over a communication network, an indication is received at an access node when a plurality of wireless devices assigned to a subscriber operate simultaneously as active wireless devices over a communication network. A priority list of the active wireless devices arranged according to the highest priority based on operating parameters of the active wireless devices is compiled. One of the active wireless devices is selected as a wireless host device based on the active wireless devices based upon the compiled priority list. Channel state data received from the active wireless devices at the access node is correlated to determine whether the active wireless devices and the wireless host device are in close proximity with each other. A wireless connection is established between the wireless host device and the active wireless devices, that are found to be in close proximity of wireless host device.

Abstract: In systems and methods of tracking area adjustment, a number of tracking area update messages based on a transition of wireless devices from a first access node associated with a first tracking area to a second access node associated with a second tracking area are monitored. When the number of tracking area update messages meets a threshold, the association of the first access node is changed to the second tracking area.
