Abstract: Example methods and an example controller for controlling a bit rate at which a media server streams media content to a UE are provided. The example controller includes at least one processing unit and data storage having instructions executable by the processing unit to carry out operations. The operations include determining an extent to which the UE provides wireless backhaul connectivity between its serving base station and at least one device other than the UE. Further, the operations include, based on the determined extent, (i) establishing the bit rate and (ii) causing the media server to stream a portion of media content to the UE at the established bit rate.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically controlling when a base station will provide a UE with carrier aggregation service rather than serving the UE on just a single carrier. The base station dynamically invokes carrier aggregation service for the UE in response to detecting simultaneous voice and data communication by the UE. And the base station dynamically discontinues providing carrier aggregation service for the UE, and transitions to serving the UE on just a single carrier, in response to detecting that the UE's simultaneous voice and data communication has ended and that the UE is engaged in just voice communication or just data communication.

Abstract: A base station will determine both that a served device's power headroom is threshold low and that the device's downlink receive signal strength is threshold low. In response to at least determining both that the device's power headroom is threshold low and that the device's downlink receive signal strength is threshold low, the base station will then begin applying an uplink coverage boosting process for the device, including limiting or reducing the number of frequency blocks that the base station allocates to the device for uplink transmission per transmission time interval, to help increase the device's per-frequency-block transmission power and thus the device's uplink communication quality. This could be usefully carried out with respect to voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) uplink coverage boosting (VUCB) for instance, to help improve voice communication quality.

Abstract: A method and system for managing quantity of carriers to aggregate together in carrier aggregation service, based at least in part on consideration of the type of content that will be communicated to or from the user equipment device (UE) at issue. A base station serving the UE may determine a type of content that will be communicated between the base station and the UE and, based at least on the determined type of content, may decide whether to apply carrier aggregation and, when the decision is to apply carrier aggregation, determine, based at least on the determined type of content, how many component carriers to aggregate together in the carrier aggregation service of the UE. The base station may then modify an air interface connection with the UE to encompass the determined number of component carriers.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and corresponding system for controlling how a user equipment device (UE) served by a base station of a first network is concurrently served by a second network, where the first network is interconnected with the second network. In an example method, if the UE determines that the UE provides connectivity between at least one other device and the base station, the UE then causes itself to be served by the second network in a first mode in which the UE is registered with the second network via the first network. Whereas, if the UE determines that the UE does not provide such connectivity, the UE then instead causes itself to be served by the second network in a second mode in which the UE is registered with the second network directly via the second network rather than via the first network.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for balancing control channel resource allocations between base stations. As disclosed, a first base station provides a first downlink control channel including a first set of air interface resources and a second base station provides a second downlink control channel including a second set of air interface resources, the first set of air interface resources and the second set of air interface resources being mutually exclusive. Upon detecting a threshold difference between (i) an extent of a capacity of the first downlink control channel being unused and (ii) an extent of a capacity of the second downlink control channel being unused, the system may change allocation resources between downlink control channels such that (i) capacity of one of the first and second downlink control channels is increased and (ii) capacity of the other one of the first and second downlink control channels is decreased.

Abstract: A method and system to help manage wireless communication with a UE in a manner that takes into account a predicted impact of data bundling, such as TTI bundling, with respect to communication of data during a session. When a radio access network (RAN) is going to serve a UE with data communication for a VoLTE call or other session that would trigger such bundling, the RAN will predict the extent of other data that will be communicated during the session, and the RAN will predict the impact, such as increased air interface load, that would result from data bundling of at least that other data communication. If the RAN thereby predicts that the impact of data bundling with respect to at least that other data communication will exceed a predefined threshold level, then the RAN will responsively take action to limit its air interface communication with the UE.
Abstract translation: 一种帮助管理与UE的无线通信的方法和系统，其考虑到在会话期间关于数据通信的数据捆绑（例如TTI绑定）的预测影响的方式。 当无线电接入网络（RAN）将为具有用于VoLTE呼叫的数据通信或将触发这种捆绑的其他会话的UE服务时，RAN将预测在会话期间将被传送的其他数据的范围，并且RAN 将预测由至少其他数据通信的数据捆绑导致的影响，如增加空中接口负载。 如果RAN因此预测到关于至少该其他数据通信的数据绑定的影响将超过预定义的阈值水平，则RAN将响应地采取行动来限制其与UE的空中接口通信。

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to facilitate management of carriers to help ensure QoS for single-carrier UEs. In particular, a base station may serve one or more first user equipment devices (UEs) on just a first carrier. While doing so, the base station may determine that each of the one or more first UEs being served on just the first carrier is receiving threshold low quality of service from the base station on the first carrier. Responsive to this determining, the base station may (i) select one or more second UEs based on the one or more second UEs being served by the base station on both the first carrier and one or more other carriers and (ii) discontinue serving each selected second UE on the first carrier while continuing to serve each selected second UE on one or more other carriers.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling wireless service of a user equipment device (UE) by an access node. The access node serves the UE with uplink carrier-aggregation over a connection that encompasses encompassing multiple uplink channels including a primary uplink channel (uplink PCell) and a secondary uplink channel (uplink SCell). Further, the access node dynamically sets a channel-quality threshold (e.g., an RSRP threshold) applicable to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE, with the dynamically setting of the channel-quality threshold including iteratively adjusting the channel-quality threshold based on uplink spectral efficiency of the access node. And the access node applies the dynamically set channel-quality threshold to control when to deconfigure the uplink SCell from service of the UE.

Abstract: A method and system for proactively reconfiguring communication to a user equipment device (UE) in anticipation the UE experiencing a coverage-throughput reduction when the UE is receiving streaming media. An example method includes (i) predicting, when the UE is receiving streaming media, that the UE is going to experience the coverage-throughput reduction and (ii) based at least in part on the predicting, proactively increasing a quality-of-service (QoS) level of a bearer through which the UE is receiving the streaming media, the proactively increasing occurring before the UE experiences the coverage-throughput reduction so that the QoS level is increased by when the UE experiences the coverage-throughput reduction.
