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: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus managing UE handovers between MNO and MVNO networks by using pre-emptive signaling between the two networks so as to coordinate UE session migration between the two networks, such as for UE having dual SIM capability and a software agent functioning as a connection manager is configured to reduce handover delay by maintaining an active profile of active applications, such as via a snapshot module configured to keep track of active packet flows for each application by, illustratively, tracking such application packet flows at the packet level and maintaining a corresponding snapshot of current application packet flows.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for provision of resources from one or more devices within a wireless communication network to one or more devices that are outside of the 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-based) 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 and/or supplementation devices to provide service to the CPEs that are out of the network coverage, effectively enabling addition of new customers to the network. As such, additional CAPEX (capital expenditure) on infrastructure is largely avoided.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, and apparatus providing substantially automated provisioning and provisioning management of CPE within a system using unlicensed spectrum so as to ensure that the CPE operate only within an allowed spectral region irrespective of CPA capability. The automated system utilizes an identification of CPE being installed to automatically determine CPE capability, configure the CPE as needed to avoid CPE operation outside of the allowed spectral region, and generate approval-ready CPE credentials suitable for use by a Spectrum Access System (SAS).

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for achieving frequency, phase and time of day synchronization in wireless systems. An exemplary method of operating a first wireless base station in a first network in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: (i) receiving, at the first wireless base station, a first message; (ii) in response to receiving the first message entering, by the first wireless base station, into a first mode of operation; and (iii) while operating in the first mode of operation, obtaining, by the first wireless base station, synchronization information from a first user equipment device using over the air device to device communications, the synchronization information including time synchronization information.

Abstract: Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for managing UE migration between a shared spectrum primary and a secondary network by efficiently capturing UE session snapshots so as to prioritize UE migration by active services from the primary to the secondary network in response to loss of spectrum conditions requiring such migration, and to provide a mechanism by which UE are migrated back to the primary network as soon as shared spectrum becomes available.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting handover via efficiently updating neighbor tables in response to a detected dissimilar channel assignment, e.g., a temporary PAL channel assignment to one or more cells in a network, are described. In various cases the newly assigned temporary PAL channel has a different bandwidth and/or a different carrier frequency than the original PAL channel. The content of neighbor tables is supplemented to reflect the temporary dissimilar assignment. After the temporary assignment ends the original neighbor tables are restored.
