Abstract: A device may obtain, from a user equipment (UE), first information relating to one or more signal strengths measured by the UE. A signal strength of the one or more signal strengths may be associated with a beam of a radio node. The device may identify, based on the first information, a particular signal strength that is associated with a particular beam. The device may select, based on the particular beam, one or more related beams that are associated with the particular beam. The one or more related beams may be associated with the particular beam based on historical data relating to historical signal strengths measured by a plurality of UEs. The device may provide, to the UE, second information that identifies the one or more related beams selected, to permit the UE to communicate using the one or more related beams.

Abstract: An illustrative system includes a network device, of a wireless network, configured to determine location information associated with a user equipment (UE) connected to the wireless network, encode the location information in a resource assignment signal configured to assign a resource of the wireless network for use by the UE, and transmit the resource assignment signal including the encoded location information to the UE. The UE may be configured to receive the transmitted resource assignment signal including the encoded location information, decode the encoded location information, and use the location information for one or more operations of the UE, such as to determine a geographic location of the UE.

Abstract: A device may receive information associated with establishing a gateway connection. The gateway connection may be an ad hoc connection to a user device that permits the user device to transfer network traffic to/from a base station via another user device and without the user device directly connecting to the base station via a radio access network. The information being associated with determining that a gateway establishment condition is satisfied. The device may cause the gateway connection to be established based on the information associated with establishing the gateway connection. The device may cause the user device to utilize the gateway connection to transfer network traffic to/from the base station.

Abstract: A system may be configured to receive information regarding a geographical location of a user device; and compare the geographical location of the user device to geographical locations of a set of gateway devices. The gateway devices may be associated with a cellular network, and the gateway devices may communicatively couple one or more network devices associated with the cellular network to an access point that is not associated with the cellular network. The system may further select a particular gateway device based on the geographical location of the user device and the geographical locations of the particular gateway device; and store or output information regarding the selected particular gateway device.

Abstract: A device may proactively mitigate network congestion and reduce network load on a network device. In some implementations, the device may monitor load information associated with a base station in communication with a user device via a wireless cellular network; determine, based on the load information, that load on the base station should be reduced; determine, in response to the determination that the load on the base station should be reduced, and based on a type of traffic being transmitted to the user device via the base station, whether traffic for the user device can be offloaded to an access point within communications range of the user device; and cause, based on determining that the traffic for the user device can be offloaded to the access point, the user device to communicate via the access point and discontinue transmitting the traffic via the base station.

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on unicast and/or broadcast multimedia content items being accessed by respective user equipment (UE) devices through a network. The reporting server determines, for each multimedia content item, a number of UE devices that are accessing the multimedia content item and whether it is being unicast or broadcast. The reporting server ranks the multimedia content items by the number of UE devices accessing each item. In several disclosed examples, a broadcast video provisioning system switches unicast transmissions to broadcast transmissions based on the ranked list, based on this ranking and possibly on the available unicast and broadcast bandwidth.

Abstract: Digital signal processors (DSPs) process the digital baseband signals associated with CPRI links between BBUs and RRHs. The DSPs may be implemented at the RRH nodes (e.g., at the link leading to the BBU node), at the BBU node (e.g., at the links leading to the RRH nodes), or at both. The DSPs may be used to increase performance of the RAN. For example, the DSPs may implement digital filters designed to enhance the performance of the RAN.

Abstract: A device receives a pilot channel from an access network, without connecting to the access network. The pilot channel includes information identifying an actual usage associated with the access network. The device determines whether the actual usage of the access network is greater than a particular usage associated with the access network, and selectively connects to the access network based on whether the actual usage of the access network is greater than the particular usage. The device connects to the access network, to provide data to a core network, when the actual usage of the access network is not greater than the particular usage. The device does not connect to the access network when the actual usage of the access network is greater than the particular usage.
