Abstract: Methods and apparatus for prioritizing data traffic in small-cell wireless system. In one embodiment, the system utilizes “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a wireless communication network (e.g., 3GPP 4G-LTE or 5G-NR-based). A “traffic profile” message is used to prioritize the data traffic. In one variant, the traffic profile message is generated by a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) such as a CBRS FWA, and includes data related to CPE identification, default bearer identification, number of client devices served by the CPE (e.g., via a wireless router connected to the CPE), traffic type and/or priority level associated with each client device and/or data traffic type, etc. In another variant, the base station provides data services to a plurality of fixed wireless access (FWA) apparatus installed at user or subscriber premises of a network based on prioritization according to the present disclosure.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for managing service provider network nodes in a converged network by identifying indicia of a reduced Quality of Service (QoS) level of network services provided to user equipment (UE) via a WiFi access point (WAP) such that a WiFi control entity may responsively communicate the identification of affected UE to various provider equipment such that the UE may be migrated to a proximate service provider mobile network node in accordance with a network slice having a Quality Class Index (QCI) of at least a minimum QoS level indicated by the subscriber profile information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enhancing performance of a wireline communication network backhaul for wireless nodes based on data traffic and node characterization. In one embodiment, the node comprises a small-cell or other wireless base station (e.g., one utilizing unlicensed or quasi-licensed spectrum such as CBRS or C-Band) that is backhauled by a DOCSIS system within a managed HFC network, and the methods and apparatus utilize such factors as traffic load, geographic or topological location, node technology type, and user device profile for each node to determine scheduling of traffic over the wireline transmission medium used for the delivery of services. In another embodiment, the foregoing factors can be weighted for further determination related to an assignment of the time slots or other resources for the delivery of services.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enhancing communication and performance for a device backhauled by a wireline communication network. In one embodiment, the device comprises a small-cell or other wireless base station that is backhauled by a DOCSIS system within a managed HFC network, and the method and apparatus enable enhanced communication between the small cell/base station and the backhaul network so as to support “rate matching” between the device to mitigate packet overflow or other issues. In one implementation, enhanced cable modem (CM) and base station devices coordinate to inform the base station of the modulation order (and/or other parameters related to transmission of the data destined for the base station on the backhaul) so that the base station can selectively invoke utilization of higher-order modulation and/or coding schemes, as well as spatial multiplexing or beamforming.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for monitoring a network. A customer premise equipment device is registered with a spectrum access system. The spectrum access system is informed of a count of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards and a count of radios in the customer premise equipment device and is informed of a frequency and an identity of the network to monitor. One or more measurements are performed by the customer premise equipment device based on the frequency and the identity of the network and the one or more measurements are sent to a managing server.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device's (CBSD's) coverage area using user equipment (UE) timing advance and/or power headroom information and allocating resources based on the estimate. In an exemplary method embodiment a Spectrum Access System: (i) receives, from a CBSD, user equipment (UE) information including at least one of timing advance or power headroom information for one or more UEs in communication with the CBSD; (ii) estimates, based on the received first UE information, a first CBSD coverage area; and (iii) makes a first resource allocation to the CBSD based on the estimated CBSD coverage area, the first resource allocation including an allocation of at least one of a frequency bandwidth allocation or transmission power allocation to the CBSD.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing capacity in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) network. An exemplary method embodiment includes operating a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) of a cell to perform the steps of: receiving a power down message; decreasing, in response to the power down message, UE inactivity timer length for one or more UEs from a first length to a second length; and continuing to transmit packets to UEs at an edge of the cell. An exemplary system embodiment includes: a CBSD of a cell that comprises: a network receiver that receives a power down message; a first processor that controls the first CBSD to decrease, in response to the power down message, UE inactivity timer length for one or more UEs from a first length to a second length; and a wireless transmitter that continues to transmit packets to UEs at an edge of the cell.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for operation of a dual-connectivity enabled premises device in a wireless communication network. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatus utilize so-called “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a cellular wireless communication network (e.g. having 4G/4.5G LTE and 5G NR base stations) for the provision of services to a number of installed enhanced fixed wireless apparatus (FWAe) at user or subscriber premises. The FWAe has dual-connectivity functionality, and can connect to two different access technologies simultaneously. The FWAe (and base stations) also support a “split” mode of operation wherein each air interface is selectively used for only certain types of traffic (e.g., UL or DL only).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enhancing packet scheduler fairness in a small-cell wireless communication network. In one embodiment, the methods and apparatus utilize “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with 3GPP wireless communication network (e.g. 4G LTE or 5GNR) for the delivery of services to a number of enhanced CPE (consumer premises equipment), such as fixed wireless apparatus (FWAe). The various FWAe report Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) data to their respective serving base stations over time, and each base station both builds a statistical characterization of each FWAe, and maps the CQI data to a prescribed configuration (e.g., to the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS)) adaptively for the transmission of the data to the FWAe, and development of a scheduler priority for each FWAe. In one implementation, once the CQI values are stable for a given FWAe, CQI reporting is terminated for a period of time.

Abstract: A mobile network operator (MNO) base station, e.g., an eNB, instructs a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) user equipment (UE) to monitor to detect signals from base stations in its MVNO network and to report back the results. If the UE reports to the MNO base station, that it has detected signals from base stations, e.g. CBSDs, in its MVNO, the MNO base station applies one or more rules included in a stored Service Profile Identifier, corresponding to the UE, the applying of the one or more rules causes the MNO base station to disconnect or deny service to the UE. Alternatively, when it is determined that the UE did not detect a signal from a base station, e.g. a CBSD, in its MVNO, then the MNO base station provides communications service to the UE.
