Abstract: Systems and methods provide for assignment of wireless devices to an access node based on the transmission power capabilities of the access nodes and the wireless devices. The method may be applied to mobile wireless devices in overlapping coverage areas such that the transmission power capabilities of both the access node and the wireless device are considered during node assignment.

Abstract: A method and system identify a congestion parameter for multiple ports of a cell site router (CSR) and determine a characteristic of a wireless device communicating using the CSR. The method and system further assign the wireless device to a port of the CSR based on the characteristic of the wireless device and the congestion parameter. The method and system have the effect of assigning wireless devices having more capabilities to ports having the most congestion as the more capable devices are more likely to have sufficient retransmission power in the event of congestion.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide inter-band EN-DC coverage combinations to wireless devices in a cell wherein each inter-band coverage has corresponding handover criteria. The method includes determining a power class for at least one wireless device, wherein the power class is one of a high-power class and a low power class. The method additionally includes comparing the handover criteria of at least two inter-band coverage combinations to identify relaxed handover criteria and assigning the high-power class wireless device to an inter-band coverage combination having the relaxed handover criteria.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for assignment of wireless devices to a secondary node based on a characteristic of the wireless device and properties of the secondary node. The method may be triggered when noise reaches a predetermined threshold. HPUEs may be assigned to secondary nodes having a high reverse noise and channels having a high spectral efficiency and LPUEs may be assigned to secondary nodes having a lower reverse noise and a lower spectral efficiency.

Abstract: Load balancing based on pairing efficiency includes monitoring a pairing efficiency metric of each carrier deployed by an access node, the access node being configured to utilize 5G EN-DC, and offloading wireless devices from a first carrier having a lower pairing efficiency to a second carrier having a higher pairing efficiency. Offloading includes adjusting reference signals associated with 4G and 5G carriers.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and processing nodes for ensuring uplink service for wireless devices capable of uplink split mode in EN-DC using both 4G LTE and 5G NR RATs, by selecting serving access nodes that are also capable of uplink split mode and/or coupled to large quantities of antenna elements relative to other potential serving access nodes. In particular, such serving access nodes are selected for wireless devices that exhibit one or more of a low power headroom, a high uplink buffer, or a high mobility.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and processing nodes are configured to manage wireless devices in a wireless network, such as a network that employs MIMO techniques, by receiving a request from a new wireless device for access to a wireless network using a first communication protocol, the wireless network using at least two communication protocols simultaneously, determining that a number of wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol of the at least two communication protocols meets a threshold number of wireless device, and adjusting an operating parameter of a multi-element antenna for communicating signals between an access node and the wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol when it is determined that the number of wireless devices in the wireless network using the first communication protocol meets the threshold number of wireless devices.

Abstract: Dedicating antenna elements to specific wireless devices by identifying specific wireless devices that meet a set of criteria, such as wireless devices using a certain application type that is associated with a bandwidth, and respectively dedicating a separate portion of antenna elements for communicating with each specific wireless device. The separate portion of antenna elements is selected based on being configured to utilize a bandwidth that meets a threshold bandwidth or matches the bandwidth associated with the application type.

Abstract: Ensuring a quality of service for a wireless device attached to an access node by receiving a data packet at a routing node communicably coupled to the access node, wherein the data packet is transmitted by the wireless device to the access node using a bearer that is associated with a first priority level, determining that the data packet is marked with a first quality of service indicator that is associated with a second priority level that is lower than the first priority level, and marking the data packet with a second quality of service indicator that is associated with the first priority level prior to forwarding the data packet to a destination node. The routing node comprises a cell site router configured to receive the data packet from the access node, and the priority levels include QoS parameters such as DSCP and QCI values.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include systems, methods, and nodes for selecting a donor for a relay wireless device. Candidate signal arcs of a predetermined angle for a relay wireless device that do not meet an interference criteria are determined. Signals levels are scanned for the relay wireless device for signals received from a plurality of donor access nodes, the scanning iterating over the determined candidate signal arcs that do not meet the interference criteria. Candidate donor access nodes with a received signal level at the relay wireless device that meets a signal level criteria for each candidate signal arc based on the scanning are determined. And a donor access node is selected for the relay wireless device based on the determined candidate donor access nodes.
