Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for dynamically adjusting broadcast beam patterns of a wavefront emitted by an antenna array based on the velocities of devices communicatively coupled to the base station associated with the antenna array. The broadcast beam patterns can be adjusted by modifying the broadcast mode or at least one phase, amplitude, or power of the at least one antenna associated with the base station. Adjusting the beam pattern, for example between multiple beams and a single unified beam, based on device types can improve the quality of service for the devices and reduce the processing burden of the base station.
Abstract:
A source wireless access node serves User Equipment (UEs) over a Three-Dimensional (3D) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna array and over a Two-Dimensional (2D) MIMO antenna array. The source wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the UEs over the 3D MIMO antenna array. The source wireless access node detects a loss-of-synchronization. The source wireless access node detects an interference condition at neighbor wireless access nodes. When the interference condition at the neighbor wireless access nodes and the loss-of-synchronization at the source wireless access node occur simultaneously, the source wireless access node network disables the 3D MIMO antenna array and wirelessly exchanges additional user data with the UEs over the 2D MIMO antenna array. When the neighbor interference condition or the loss-of-synchronization terminate, the source wireless access node enables and uses the 3D MIMO antenna array.
Abstract:
A wireless communication network controls wireless base stations that serve wireless relays that serve wireless User Equipment (UEs). In a relay control system, data transceivers receive configuration data that was transferred by the wireless relays and that indicates their individual wireless media services. Relay control circuitry allocates individual carrier aggregation Quality-of-Service (QoS) levels to the individual wireless relays based on the individual wireless media services. The relay transceivers transfer the individual carrier aggregation QoS levels for the individual wireless relays to the wireless base stations. The wireless base stations serve the wireless relays with the individual carrier aggregation QoS levels. The wireless relays serve the wireless UEs with the wireless media services.
Abstract:
A wireless access point transfers first user data to a first User Equipment (UE) in first carrier-aggregated resource blocks according to an initial UE Carrier Aggregation (CA) schedule. The wireless access point transfers second user data to a wireless relay in second carrier-aggregated resource blocks according to an initial relay CA schedule. The wireless relay transfers the second user data to a second UE. The wireless access point translates the amount of first user data into a new UE CA schedule and a new relay CA schedule. The wireless access point transfers third user data to the first UE in third carrier-aggregated resource blocks according to the new UE CA schedule. The wireless access point transfers fourth user data to the wireless relay in fourth carrier-aggregated resource blocks according to the new relay CA schedule. The wireless relay transfers the fourth user data to the second UE.
Abstract:
A wireless network access point and User Equipment (UEs) communicate over Base Station-to-Device (BS2D) traffic links. The wireless network access point receives status reports from the UEs that form a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication group. The wireless network access point filters the UEs in the D2D communication group based on a signal strength threshold and a buffer capacity threshold to identify a candidate set of the UEs. The wireless network access point further prioritizes the candidate set based on buffer status reporting frequency of the UEs to select one of the UEs as the D2D communication master for the D2D communication group.
Abstract:
An Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) identifies a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network serving the UE. The IMS receives a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Invite message for the media session to the UE and responsively transfers a status request for delivery to the LTE network serving the UE. The LTE network identifies a status of an LTE base station serving the UE and identifying an alternative communication network serving the UE. The LTE network determines that the media session should be redirected to the alternative communication network based on the status of the LTE base station and the identified alternative communication network serving the UE. The LTE network transfers a status response for delivery to the IMS indicating media session redirection to the alternative communication network. The IMS then transfers the SIP Invite message for the media session to the UE for delivery to the alternative communication network serving the UE.
Abstract:
A system, media, and method, for aperiodic antenna calibration triggering in a wireless network is provided. Following a calibration of an antenna, a recalibration of the antenna is triggered upon determining that a recalibration criterion is met. The determination is made based on monitoring a reported power level of a transmitted signal as measured by a stationary and/or mobile client device couple to the wireless network.
Abstract:
A method and system are provided for adjusting power distribution to remote radio heads in a telecommunication network. Multiple buses are implemented in a configuration to individually distribute power to remote radio heads. Each bus is connected to a remote radio heads allowing the remote radio head to receive power on an individual basis and different from other remote radio heads. An eNodeB collects operational measurements from a cell site which are used to provide instructions to adjust the power to each bus and corresponding remote radio head.
Abstract:
A Long Term Evolution (LTE) network wirelessly exchanges data with User Equipment (UE) over multiple data bearers having a combination of Quality-of-Service Class Indicators (QCIs). The LTE network wirelessly receives radio measurement data from the UE for a voice communication network and for a data communication network. The LTE network determines at network-selection parameters based on the combination of the QCIs for the UE. The LTE network processes the radio measurement data based on the network-selection parameters to select the data communication network for the UE instead of the voice communication network.
Abstract:
A wireless data network controls Quality-of-Service (QoS) delivered to wireless relays. The wireless relays attach to wireless base stations in the wireless data network and transfer configuration data indicating their media services to the wireless data network. A relay QoS control system in the wireless data network receives the configuration data and allocates individual QoS levels to the wireless relays based on their media services. The relay QoS control system transfers the individual relay QoS levels for the wireless relays to the wireless base stations. The wireless relays exchange user data with wireless user devices to deliver the media services. The wireless base stations exchange the user data with the wireless relays to deliver the media services based on the individual QoS levels for the wireless relays.
