    Abstract: A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium provide for scanning, by a device, a radio service area of a small cell radio access node to detect radio signals of one or more radio frequency (RF) bands, the radio signals including transmissions associated with one or more other small cell radio access nodes that are operating in a vicinity of the small cell radio access node, and the small radio access node being configured to alternately operate at multiple RF bands including the one or more RF bands; determining, by the device, a signal strength associated with each of the one or more RF bands; and dynamically optimizing, by device, operation of the small cell radio access node based on the signal strength associated with each of the one or more RF bands.

    Abstract: A first cell device obtains, from a second cell device, multicast information associated with the second cell device, where a first wireless coverage area associated with the first cell device at least partially overlaps a second wireless coverage area associated with the second cell device. The first cell device transmits the multicast information to an element management system, and receives, from the element management system, an instruction, generated based at least on the multicast information, to not use one or more subframes, associated with a multicast transmission session associated with the second cell device, to transmit during the multicast transmission session. The first cell device determines, after receiving the instruction, that the multicast transmission session has been initiated, and causes the first cell device to not use the one or more subframes to transmit during the multicast transmission session associated with the second cell device.

    Abstract: A mobile network gateway receives, from a user equipment device (UE), a session request for a session between the UE and an application hosted by a hosting device, where the session request includes an application identifier (ID) associated with the application. The mobile network gateway identifies a network slice of a mobile network based on the application ID and an ID associated with the UE, and retrieves a security profile from memory based on the application ID and the identified network slice. The mobile network gateway establishes a secure tunnel between the gateway and the hosting device using the retrieved security profile, and forwards data units associated with the requested session between the UE and the hosting device via the secure tunnel.

    Abstract: At least one network device receives a first network address of a first small cell wireless station that has been registered as an authorized wireless station for network access to a target network. The at least one network device adds the first network address of the first small cell wireless station to a small cell wireless station data structure that lists a plurality of network addresses associated with a plurality of authorized small cell wireless stations, and validates, upon power-up of the first small cell wireless station, the first small cell wireless station against the small cell wireless station data structure to selectively establish a first tunnel, between the first small cell wireless station and a gateway connected to the target network, to enable network access to the target network.

    Abstract: A device may include a memory storing instructions and processor configured to execute the instructions to receive a request for a connection from a user equipment (UE) device via cellular wireless signals and detect that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection associated with a private network. The processor may be further configured to select a private application service network slice, from a plurality of network slices, for the connection, in response to detecting that the request identifies the connection as a private local data connection, and route packets associated with the connection to destination devices in the private network using wireless signals while preventing the packets associated with the connection from leaving the private network via a backhaul connection associated with the device.

    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in which a small cell aggregation service is provided. The service may include providing a global identifier for small cell devices that may be used for the transmission and reception of messages between small cell devices and core network devices. The service may include an intermediary network device, such as a gateway device or an aggregation device that uses the global identifier to transmit and receive control plane, user plane, or both types of messages, for example. The global identifier for the small cell device may include a globally unique identifier for the intermediary network device and an identifier of the small cell device. The identifier of the small cell device may indicate a sector or coverage area from among multiple sectors or coverage areas associated with the small cell device.
