    Abstract: Performing carrier aggregation with narrow bandwidth carriers includes determining that a spectrum block allocated to a sector has a bandwidth that is narrower than a threshold bandwidth, wherein the threshold bandwidth is based on a size of a synchronization signal block (SSB), configuring the spectrum block as a narrow bandwidth carrier, performing carrier aggregation with the narrow bandwidth carrier as a secondary component carrier aggregated with the primary component carrier, and scheduling the SSB within the primary component carrier.

    Abstract: Dynamically limiting uplink transmit power of wireless devices that are known to be within range of a dense cluster or quantity of access nodes. Wireless devices can report identifiers of nearby access nodes. Responsive to determining a large quantity of identifiers from a wireless device in a specific location, the maximum allowable transmit power of the wireless device (or other wireless devices in the same area) can be reduced Power can be reduced for HPUEs as well as LPUEs.

    Abstract: Load balancing based on pairing efficiency and channel bandwidth includes comparing pairing efficiency metrics of wireless devices attached to different wireless air interfaces, comparing an aggregate channel bandwidth of carriers using each wireless air interface, and offloading wireless devices from one carrier to another carrier based on the comparisons of the pairing efficiency metrics and the aggregate channel bandwidth. In an embodiment, wireless devices are offloaded from a 5G NR wireless air interface to a 4G LTE wireless air interface having a higher pairing efficiency and aggregate channel bandwidth.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting donor access nodes for relay nodes capable of 5G EN-DC, based on conditions measured at a wireless backhaul between the relay nodes and donor access nodes, or a mobile backhaul between a cell site router and a core network. Mobile backhaul conditions can include a packet loss at a cell site router, and wireless backhaul conditions can include interference in a wireless air interface. The interference may be measured for specific portions of resources of the wireless air interface, and the specific portions may be correlated with radiofrequency (RF) channels deployed by each candidate donor access node.

    Abstract: Selecting combinations of antennae of a wireless device based on transmission type includes determining a transmission type of a transmission between the wireless device and an access node and, based on the transmission type, instructing the wireless device to utilize different antenna configurations, including 5G EN-DC, MIMO, mm-wave, and other combinations. The different antenna configurations comprise different combinations of antennae of the wireless device.

    Abstract: Limiting dual connectivity in a wireless sector served by at least two wireless air interfaces includes monitoring a pairing efficiency metric of wireless devices in the wireless sector. When the pairing efficiency metric rises above a threshold, a maximum number of wireless devices able to attach to one of the at least two wireless air interfaces is increased, and when the pairing efficiency metric falls below the threshold, the maximum number of wireless devices able to attach to one of the at least two wireless air interfaces is decreased. The wireless air interface for which dual connectivity is limited can be a 5G interface, and load is alleviated by limiting dual connectivity thereto.
