Abstract: A method and system for dynamically managing a downlink coverage threshold that is used for triggering handover processing of a user equipment device (UE). The downlink coverage threshold is dynamically decreased upon invoking of uplink Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling service for the UE.

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 is configured to tune away from a first RAN to a second RAN to check for pages. Further, the operations include, based on the determined extent, (i) establishing the bit rate and (ii) causing the media server to stream the media content to the UE at the established bit rate.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling which of a plurality of base stations will serve a WCD. Per the disclosure, a base station is selected from the plurality based at least on an extent to which the selected base station can provide MU-MIMO service efficiently to the WCDs that the selected base station is serving. Thus, the base station that will serve the WCD could be selected for effectively serving a lower quantity of WCDs (if MU-MIMO service is enabled) than other base stations of the plurality. And the WCD could then receive service from the selected base station.

Abstract: Disclosed are a methods and systems for selecting a carrier aggregation approach. In particular, a wireless communication system includes a base station configured to serve a UE with carrier aggregation service on a TDD carrier and an FDD carrier. Accordingly, the system determines a type of content that will be transmitted between the base station and the UE and, based on the type of content, the system selects an approach for serving the UE with the carrier aggregation service. This selection is between the base station (i) carrying out uplink communication using only the TDD carrier and carrying out downlink communication using only the FDD carrier and (ii) carrying out downlink communication using only the TDD carrier and carrying out uplink communication using only the FDD carrier. Based on the selecting, the system configures the base station to serve the UE with the carrier aggregation service using the selected approach.
