Abstract: A system may receive a request to receive a particular quality of service level for traffic flow between a user device and an over-the-top application server that provides an over-the-top application service. The over-the-top application server may be outside of a service provider network. The system may determine that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level for the over-the-top application service based on receiving the request. The system may cause the traffic flow to receive the particular quality of service level based on determining that the user device is to receive the particular quality of service level. The traffic flow may be transmitted using the service provider network. The system may determine usage information associated with the traffic flow, where the usage information identifies the user device and the particular quality of service level. The system may provide the usage information.

Abstract: A device may receive information related to a channel. The information may indicate whether a measurement related to the channel satisfies a threshold. The threshold may be related to an availability of the channel. The device may determine an aggregation mode to use to communicate via the channel. The device may determine a set of available channels based on determining whether the measurement satisfies the threshold. The device may determine an order related to the set of available channels based on determining the set of available channels. The order may be based on the availability of the set of available channels. The device may select a channel from the set of available channels based on the order related to the set of available channels. The device may exchange communications via the channel based on selecting the channel.

Abstract: A small cell device may communicate with a user device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computer, etc.) via a range extender device that extends the effective range of the small cell device to the user device. The small cell device, the range extender device, and the user device may communicate with one another using channels of a licensed spectrum (e.g., traditional LTE channels). The range extender device may determine channel conditions corresponding to an unlicensed spectrum (e.g., 5 Gigahertz (GHz) Spectrum) and communicate the channel conditions to the small cell device. Based on the channel conditions, the small cell device and the range extender device may select downlink-only channels of the unlicensed spectrum and cause the downlink capabilities of the channels of the unlicensed spectrum to be augmented by the downlink capabilities of the downlink-only channels of the unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: A base station may include logic configured to determine system throughput values for a plurality of modulation and coding schemes based on data throughput values and based on a number of user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station; determine a modulation and coding scheme, of the plurality of coding schemes, that is associated with a highest system throughput; and determine radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with the base station. The logic may further be configured to define a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) area based on the determined RF conditions and the selected modulation and coding scheme and provide an update to the UE devices serviced by the base station, wherein UE devices located within the defined MBMS area are sent the update using MBMS and UE devices located outside the defined MBMS area are sent the update using unicast.
