Abstract:
Different access networks may perform signaling and data delivery (bearer connection) for communication services. A device may determine, in response to a request for a service from a user of the device, whether the device is connected to a non-cellular access network. The device may transmit, when it is determined that the device is connected to the non-cellular access network, one or more control messages, relating to establishment of the service, using the non-cellular access network. The device may transmit, when it is determined that the device is not connected to the non-cellular access network, the one or more control messages, using a cellular access network. The device may establish, with a party with which the service is to connect, a bearer connection for the service over the cellular access network.
Abstract:
An outdoor broadband unit implements a library of commands to communicate between a wide area network (WAN)-side Long-Term Evolution (LTE) module and a local area network (LAN)-side broadband home router within the outdoor broadband unit. The commands are used for control plane operations to facilitate LTE network sessions for individual devices within a customer premises LAN. In some cases, the commands are also used for communicating with a remote device manager.
Abstract:
A combined gateway, for a fixed wireless network, includes a structure mounted to a customer premises, and a satellite antenna mechanically coupled to the structure. The combined gateway also includes an outdoor broadband unit mechanically coupled to the structure via an adjustable extension arm. The outdoor broadband unit connects to the satellite antenna via a first communication link, and connects to customer premises equipment via a second communication link. Adjustment of the extension arm permits movement of the outdoor broadband unit relative to a position of the satellite antenna.
Abstract:
A base station for an Internet protocol (IP) wireless access network receives a policy for subscriber traffic over a particular bearer, where the policy includes a particular quality-of-service control indicator (QCI) value, and an average bit rate (ABR) value, a maximum bit rate (MBR) value, and a weight factor value associated with the QCI value. The base station detects network congestion associated with the IP wireless access network and applies, to the subscriber traffic over a particular bearer, the weight factor, the ABR value, and/or the MBR value to manage the network congestion.
Abstract:
A system is configured to receive, from a user device, voice traffic to be sent to another user device; determine whether the voice traffic is local traffic based on whether an eNodeB, associated with the user device, and another eNodeB, associated with the other user device, are served by a particular network device; forward the voice traffic, as non-local traffic, to another network device, associated with a packet data network, for processing when the eNodeB or the other eNodeB are not served by the particular network device; process the voice traffic as local traffic when the eNodeB and the other eNodeB are served by the particular network device; and forward, to the other user device via the other eNodeB, the voice traffic, as local traffic, where the forwarding is performed in a manner that does not include routing the voice traffic via the other network device.
