    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for providing backhaul wireless services to wireless base stations. An exemplary embodiment includes the steps of: receiving, at a backhaul management node, user equipment connection information for a first base station, the first base station having a first wireless backhaul connection path to a second base station; determining, by the backhaul management node, whether or not a second wireless backhaul connection path is to be established for the first base station based on the received user equipment connection request information; and in response to determining to establish the second wireless backhaul connection path for the first base station: sending, by the backhaul management node, a message to establish the second wireless backhaul connection from the first base station to a third base station, said second and third base stations being connected to a core network via a wired and/or fiber backhaul connection.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for enhancing area coverage and data rates in a quasi-licensed 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. 4G, 5G, or LTE) for the delivery of services to a number of installed fixed wireless apparatus (CPE/FWA) at user or subscriber premises. The CPE/FWAs may act as relays or supplementation devices to provide requisite data rates to the CPEs that are out of the network coverage, effectively adding new customers to the network. As such, the CPEs that acts as relays are connected to one or more base stations, dynamically allocate some resources to the out of coverage CPEs, for the delivery/receipt of information to/from the out-of-coverage CPES/FWA.

    Abstract: A Configuration Auditor and Configuration Enforcer (CACE) automatically runs audits of cells in a network and finds any discrepancies between the actual and preferred configuration. The CACE has access to lists of parameters and preferred settings for the network operator in which the cell being audited is located and thus knows the preferred settings for the given type of radio being audited and/or use of the radio in terms of the intended coverage area and/or traffic type being communicated. The list of parameters to which the actual radio settings is compared is sometimes referred to as a “golden parameter list”. The detection of radio parameter setting discrepancies, e.g., setting errors, and the correction of the parameter settings is performed automatically with parameter settings being automatically corrected on the fly, e.g., immediately, when possible without disrupting service or during a scheduled service interval if a radio reboot is required.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for automatically switching virtual private networks. A method includes automatically detecting, by a switching virtual private network application, activation of an application, automatically determining, by the switching virtual private network application, whether the application is a defined application in the switching virtual private network application, wherein each defined application includes an associated virtual private network which is needed for a user device to access the application, automatically disconnecting, by the switching virtual private network application, a different virtual private network when the application is defined in the switching virtual private network application, automatically initiating, by the switching virtual private network application, a connection with a virtual private network associated with the application when the application is defined in the switching virtual private network application, and automatically establishing a virtual private network for the application upon acceptance of credentials associated with the virtual private network.

    Abstract: A wireless network environment includes communication management hardware, a wireless base station, a core network, and multiple remote networks. The communication management hardware establishes first wireless connectivity between customer premises equipment and a main wireless base station. The customer premises equipment provides one or more communication devices in a subscriber domain access to a remote network over the first wireless connectivity and through the main wireless base station. A mobile communication device unaffiliated with the subscriber domain may be located inside or outside the subscriber domain. The main wireless base station provides the mobile communication device connectivity to the remote network. In response to receiving notification to operate the customer premises equipment in a supplemental wireless base station mode, the customer premises equipment provides the mobile communication device access to the remote network through the customer premises equipment.
