Abstract: A method and system for controlling connectivity of a user equipment device (UE), the UE being dual-connectivity capable. The UE detects that the UE has ping-ponged at a threshold high rate between standalone connectivity and dual connectivity. And responsive to at least detecting that the UE has ping-ponged at the threshold high rate between standalone connectivity and dual connectivity, the UE transmits, to an access node serving the UE, a report including an indication that the UE is not dual-connectivity capable, even though the UE is dual-connectivity capable. The access node could then use the indication in the report as a basis to forgo configuring of dual connectivity for the UE, which could thereby help discontinue the ping-ponging.

Abstract: When a first coverage area will use a first TDD configuration and a second coverage area will use a second TDD configuration that is different than the first TDD configuration, a guard band operatively separating the first and second coverage areas (in frequency and/or in space) will be configured with an enhanced TDD configuration that is specially structured to be consistent with both the first and second TDD configurations. Namely, the enhanced TDD configuration could be downlink just when both the first and second TDD configurations are downlink and uplink just when both the first and second TDD configurations are uplink, and can unused at other times.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically controlling service capability configuration in a system in which a UE is served concurrently on at least two air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node and in which the UE applies a dynamic power sharing to control uplink transmit power of the UE respectively on each connection. In an example method, the UE's power headroom on the first connection is determined and is used as a basis to control service capability configuration for service of the UE on the second connection. For instance, based on the UE's power headroom on the first connection, second-connection capabilities data of the UE could be reconfigured to add or remove a service feature capability.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism to help reconfigure the geographic coverage area of a second access node so as to better cover UEs that experienced connection-addition failures with the second access node. In accordance with the disclosure, a computing system could determine geolocations where UEs that experienced connection-addition failures with the second access node were located when the UEs experienced the connection-addition failures with the second access node. The computing system could then reconfigure the antenna configuration of the second access node in an effort to have the geographic coverage area of the second access node better cover the determined geolocations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanism to help control which of multiple carriers a base station will serve a UE on—perhaps which carrier should be the UE's primary component carrier for carrier-aggregation service. The disclosed mechanism can apply in a scenario where a base station is configured to provide service on multiple carriers including at least a first carrier and a second carrier, and when the base station is serving one or more relays respectively on each carrier. In that scenario, the selection of a carrier on which the base station should serve a UE could be made based at least on a consideration of how many UEs are served in total by the one or more relays that the base station serves respectively on each carrier, such as by selecting the carrier having the fewest such relay-served UEs.

Abstract: A mechanism for controlling a measurement threshold used for triggering transition of a user equipment device (UE) from being connected with a first access node on a first carrier to being connected with the first access node instead on a second carrier. A determination is made as to whether the first carrier on which the UE is connected with the first access node is an anchor carrier for dual-connectivity service of the UE. And responsive to at least the determination being that the first carrier on which the UE is connected with the first access node is the anchor carrier for dual-connectivity service of the UE, the measurement threshold is adjusted from a default level to an adjusted level to help facilitate transition of the UE from being connected with the first access node on the first carrier to being connected with the first access node instead on the second carrier.

Abstract: A timeout period for a base station to wait for a UE's response to bearer-setup messaging from the base station will be set based on an evaluation of how often the UE (or a class of UEs of which the UE is a member) has experienced bearer-setup failures. For instance, the base station could generally apply a default timeout period for waiting to receive bearer-setup response messaging from UEs. But for a given UE that has recently experienced a high rate of bearer-setup failures, the base station could apply a longer timeout period, to help cope with that UE's tendency to be slower to respond to the base station's bearer-setup messaging.

Abstract: A mechanism for controlling configuration of dual connectivity for a UE that has a first connection with a first access node. The first access node could make a determination whether a beamwidth of a second access node with which the UE does not yet have a connection is at least as wide as a predefined threshold angle. If not, then the first access node could apply blind addition, in which the first access node works to add for the UE the second connection without requiring as a condition precedent the UE reporting being in threshold strong coverage of the second access node. Whereas, if so, then the first access node could instead apply threshold-based addition, in which the first access node works to add for the UE the second connection if and when the UE reports being in threshold strong coverage of the second access node.

Abstract: A method for configuring a base station to group UEs for MU-MIMO service, where the base station provides wireless communication service in a cell having a geometric size. In an example implementation, the method includes determining, based on the geometric size of the cell, a maximum quantity of UEs that the base station should allow per MU-MIMO group, and configuring the base station to apply the determined maximum quantity when grouping UEs for MU-MIMO service. For instance, the maximum quantity of UEs per MU-MIMO group could be set based on the radius of the cell.

Abstract: A mechanism to help avoid operational failures with respect to mobile network operator (MNO) service profiles on embedded universal integrated circuit cards (eUICCs). A profile management system or other entity detects operational failures associated with MNO service profiles and responsively provides new MNO service profiles selected to help avoid recurrence of the operational failures. For instance, the profile management system could detect an operational failure that occurred on a given mobile device and could responsively provide a replacement MNO service profile for installation on that device. Further, the profile management system could detect a trend where such failures occur with respect to MNO service profiles from a first source (e.g., first vendor) on eUICCs from a second source (e.g., a second vendor) and could responsively take action to help avoid such a combination of MNO service profile and eUICC, so as to help avoid recurrence of the operational failures.
