    Abstract: A wireless network provides differentiated service via a first management device that manages and provisions resources that are located in an edge cloud of the wireless network separate from a second management device that manages and provisions resources that are located in a core cloud of the wireless network. The first management device may provision the edge cloud resources to provide various functionalities and services of the wireless network in a localized manner to user equipment (“UEs”) that are associated with low latency or high reliability requirements. The second management device may provision the core cloud resources to provide the same or different functionalities and services of the wireless network in a centralized manner to UEs that are not associated with low latency and high reliability requirements.

    Abstract: A method for network controlled beam sweeping, may include receiving, at a network control device, location data associated with user equipment (UE) devices within a service area. The method may also include identifying, at each beam sweeping position of a plurality of beam sweeping positions, geo-bins having at least one UE device located within. The method includes receiving, at the network control device, networking requirements and traffic distribution data associated with the UE devices, and determining a sweeping weight for each identified geo-bin, where the sweeping weight is based on the networking requirements and the traffic distribution data associated with the at least one UE device in a geo-bin, and determining a sweeping factor for each beam sweeping position based upon the sweeping weights. The method may also include determining a beam sweeping pattern for all the beam sweeping positions based on the sweeping factors.

    Abstract: A computer device may include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to select a broadcast method for a wakeup signal for a wireless communication device; instruct a base station to broadcast the wakeup signal using the selected broadcast method; and provide information identifying the selected broadcast method to the wireless communication device. The processor may be further configured to receiving a wakeup request from a machine-type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) device; map the received wakeup request to a wakeup signature beacon signal associated with the wireless communication device; and instruct the base station to transmit a wakeup signature beacon signal to the wireless communication device based on the received wakeup request.

    Abstract: Systems described herein receive, via a physical random access channel, an attach request from a user device; retrieve profile data for the user device; and determine, based on RF conditions estimated from the attach request, an initial downlink repetition level for extended coverage. The systems also receive a reference signal from the user device via a physical uplink shared channel; determine an uplink repetition level for coverage extension based on the uplink RF conditions and requirements from the profile data. The systems detect high resource use within a cell; identify a shared downlink resource channel for the user device, wherein machine-type communication (MTC) data for the user device uses BPSK modulation; identify non-MTC data requiring downlink transmission to a device within the cell; and send the non-MTC data over the shared downlink resource channel, and on a resource pre-allocated for the user device, using a different modulation level.

    Abstract: A device may determine a set of characteristics of a network. The set of characteristics may relate to a set of wireless devices connected to the network. The device may alter a network configuration associated with a set of positioning reference signals (PRS signals) transmitted via the network based on the set of characteristics of the network. The alteration may relate to a characteristic of the set of PRS signals or a resource allocation for providing the set of PRS signals via the network. The device may transmit the set of PRS signals based on altering the network configuration to enable geolocation to be performed by the set of wireless devices connected to the network.

    Abstract: A base station may include logic configured to determine system throughput values for a plurality of modulation and coding schemes based on data throughput values and based on a number of user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station; determine a modulation and coding scheme, of the plurality of coding schemes, that is associated with a highest system throughput; and determine radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with the base station. The logic may further be configured to define a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) area based on the determined RF conditions and the selected modulation and coding scheme and provide an update to the UE devices serviced by the base station, wherein UE devices located within the defined MBMS area are sent the update using MBMS and UE devices located outside the defined MBMS area are sent the update using unicast.
