Abstract: A method is provided for dynamically modifying a buffer in a network deploying multiple carriers, wherein multiple wireless devices communicate over the network. The wireless devices run applications, each application belonging to an application category. The method includes identifying the application category for a selected wireless device communicating over the network, wherein a first application category requires at least one of high throughput and low latency. The method additionally includes reducing a size of the buffer when the application category is the first application category, thereby initiating carrier aggregation for the selected wireless device.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include systems, methods, and nodes for distributing relay wireless devices across an access node. Network identification numbers associated with at least two wireless devices may be determined. At an access node, a traffic class identifier and frequency band may be assigned to the at least two wireless devices, wherein each frequency band available for communication at the access node is assigned at most a maximum number of wireless devices comprising a network identification number that meets the criteria. Data may then be communicated between the access node and the at least two wireless devices according to the assigned traffic class identifiers and frequency bands, wherein the wireless devices comprise relay wireless devices that relay data between the access node and one or more small cells.

Abstract: A relay wireless device is configured to function as a relay on behalf of a donor access node. The relay wireless device determines a preferred donor access node from among a plurality of candidate donor access nodes based on a comparison with a number of thresholds for reliable and efficient provision of services to end-user wireless devices via the relay wireless device. Any access node that meets the threshold requirements is added to a list of candidate donor access nodes. The candidate donor access node that best meets the thresholds may be selected as the preferred donor access node, and a connection request submitted to the preferred donor access node.

Abstract: A system for dynamically modifying a buffer in a network deploying multiple carriers is provided. Each carrier operating over the network utilizes a radio access technology (RAT). The system includes a network load monitoring processor that measures a network load on carriers using a first RAT to produce a measured value and a buffer management processor that receives the measured value, performs a comparison of the measured value with a predetermined value, and dynamically modifies a size of the buffer when the measured value exceeds the predetermined value.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include systems, methods, and nodes for selecting a donor for a relay wireless device using feedback. Signals may be scanned for at a relay wireless device to determine potential donor access nodes. The relay wireless device may communicate with the potential donor access nodes such that a power head room report is generated for each potential donor access node. A donor access node may be selected from among the potential donor access nodes based on the generated power head room reports. Backhaul data may be communicated between the relay wireless device with the selected donor access node.
