Abstract: A method for transmitting data through a multi-media communication network includes converting transmission entities into data symbols at a first communication device, transmitting the data symbols from the first communication device to a second communication device through at least two different types of communication media using only lower PHY layers of the at least two different types of communication media, and converting the data symbols into transmission entities at the second communication device. A network implementing a universal data link includes a first communication device configured to convert transmission entities into data symbols, a second communication device configured to convert the data symbols into transmission entities, at least a first communication medium and a second communication medium communicatively coupled between the first communication device and the second communication device, and a first physical-layer translator configured to translate data symbols without converting the data symbols into transmission entities.

Abstract: A method for allocating aggressive signal carriers in a target band of a wireless communication network is provided. The network includes at least one long term evolution (LTE) node and at least one non-LTE transmission source. The target band includes at least two adjacent pairs of contiguous radio frequency (RF) channels. The method includes steps of scanning each contiguous RF channel of the target band to measure a respective value of non-LTE RF energy therein, determining, from the measured non-LTE RF energy, that a first one of the contiguous RF channels is occupied by a non-LTE carrier, and allocating an LTE carrier to a second one of the contiguous RF channels, different than the first one of the contiguous RF channels, based on the determination.

Abstract: A radio head includes a standalone small cell configured to receive a plurality of IP packets over a series of sequential sub-frames, and generate a bandwidth report for each of the plurality of received IP packets. The radio head further includes a radio link control unit configured to sum a received bandwidth report with segmentation induced noise for each of the plurality of received IP packets, and an adaptive filter configured to apply a filter weight to each of the series of sequential sub-frames. The applied filter weight is based on (i) an output of the radio link control unit for a previous sub-frame, and (ii) an output of the adaptive filter for the previous sub-frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for an LTE wireless communication system operating in a Radio Frequency (RF) band with a conflicting wireless system. The LTE system includes an eNodeB operable to detect a plurality of UEs in the RF band, to generate LTE frames for downlink communications to the UEs, and to time-divide each LTE frame into a plurality of subframes. The eNodeB is also operable to condense the downlink communications into a first number of the subframes that frees data from a remaining number of the subframes in each LTE frame, and to burst-transmit the first number of the subframes of each LTE frame in the RF band.

Abstract: Network prioritization is contemplated. The network prioritization may relate to prioritizing consumption of network services as a function of user priority. The user priority may be associated with the devices desiring consumption of network services in order to ensure higher priority users are granted network resources over lower priority users.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide latency reduction in wireless service through a communication link. In one embodiment, a method includes linking a modem to a Modem Termination System (MTS) via the communication link and detecting, at the modem, a message from a wireless service link indicating that a user equipment (UE) has data to transmit to a Mobile Network Operator (MNO). The method also includes requesting a data transfer from the modem to the MTS in response to detecting the message from the wireless service link and processing the request from the modem at the MTS. The method also includes granting the request while the UE is negotiating with the wireless service link to transmit the data of the UE.

Abstract: A system and method for forming bulk requests and prioritized grant assignments in a mixed network environment utilizing a request-grant or similar protocol and prioritized grouping of data as a function of Logical Channel Group (LCG). The systems and methods generate a second network bulk request from a plurality of first network BSRs, which causes the generation of a bulk grant. Furthermore, the systems and methods optionally group data from a plurality of UE, each having a data siloed into logical channel groups, and reorganizing the data into a first priority LCG data set comprising the LCG0 data from each of the plurality of UEs, a second priority LCG data set comprising the LCG1 data from each of the plurality of UEs, etc.
