Abstract:
A wireless communication system (100, 400) controls Carrier Aggregation (CA) at a wireless relay (110, 410). A wireless access point (120, 420, 600) wirelessly receives user data and transfers a first portion of the user data to a wireless User Equipment (UE) (101, 401) using a UE CA configuration and a second portion of the user data to the wireless relay (110, 410) using a relay CA configuration, wherein the wireless relay (110, 410) wirelessly serves additional UEs (102, 402). The wireless access point (120, 420, 600) determines an amount of the transferred user data and translates the amount of the transferred user data into a new UE CA configuration and a new relay CA configuration. The wireless access point (120, 420, 600) wirelessly receives additional user data and transfers a first portion of the additional user data to the wireless UE (101, 401) using the new UE CA configuration and a second portion of the additional user data to the wireless relay (110, 410) using the new relay CA configuration.
Abstract:
In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system (100, 300), a User Equipment (UE) (105, 305, 600) receives Mobility Management Entity (MME) selection data. The UE (105, 305, 600) processes the MME selection data to select one of multiple MMEs (101-103). The UE (105, 305, 600) wirelessly transfers an LTE attachment request to an LTE access point (110). The LTE attachment request indicates the selected MME (101-103). The UE (105, 305, 600) wirelessly receives an attachment acceptance from the selected MME (101-103) through the LTE access point (110) in response to selecting and indicating the MME (100-103) in the LTE attachment request.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device (101, 301, 501, 700) comprises a wireless communication interface (701), a user interface (103, 303, 503, 703), and a processing system (702). The wireless communication interface (701) is configured to receive streaming content from a communication system (100, 300, 500, 800). The user interface (103, 303, 503, 703) is configured to display the streaming content in a plurality of windows. The processing system (702) is configured to monitor a screen arrangement of the wireless communication device and determine an amount that each of the windows is covered, and if the amount exceeds a threshold value, to initiate a packet indicating a source packet address of the streaming content being displayed in the covered window.

Abstract:
A communication system (110, 310) is disclosed for communicating a presence message from a presence server (140, 340) to a monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330), where the presence message indicates a location-oriented status of a monitored wireless communication device (120, 320-322). The communication system (110, 310) receives the presence message from the presence server (140, 340) and determines if the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330) is in an active mode. If the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330) is in the active mode, the presence message is transferred for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330). If the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330) is not in the active mode, filtering characteristics are applied to the presence message, summary data of the presence message is created, and the summary data of the presence message is transferred for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330) once the monitoring wireless communication device (130, 330) enters the active mode.
Abstract:
A wireless access node (101, 301-302) provides a wireless communication service to a plurality of wireless communication devices (111-116, 311-319) over a first frequency band class. A node control system (102, 304, 600) detects a condition for the first frequency band class, and in response, identifies a set of the wireless communication devices (113-116, 313-315, 317-319) that are currently in idle mode. The node control system transitions a subset of the wireless communication devices (114-115, 315, 319) that are currently in the idle mode to a second frequency band class. The wireless access node (101, 301-302) then provides the wireless communication service to the subset of the wireless communication devices (114-115, 315, 319) over the second frequency band class.
Abstract:
A wireless access point (110, 311-313, 411-413, 500) is linked to multiple wireless network cores (111-115, 321-323, 421-423). The wireless access point (110, 311-313, 411-413, 500) wirelessly transmits a multi-role wireless network identifier for a multi-role network (100, 300, 400). The wireless access point (110, 311-313, 411-413, 500) wirelessly receives device attachment signaling indicating a device role from the wireless user device (101, 301-303, 401-403) responsive to the multi-role wireless network identifier. The wireless access point (110, 311-313, 411-413, 500) processes the device role to select the optimal one of the wireless network cores (111-115, 321-323, 421-423) from the multiple wireless network cores (111-115, 321-323, 421-423). The wireless access point (110, 311-313, 411-413, 500) transfers network attachment signaling for the wireless user device (101, 301-303, 401-403) to the selected and optimal wireless network core (111-115, 321-323, 421-423).
Abstract:
A Network Function Virtualization (NFV) data communication system (100, 500, 600, 700) implements hardware trusted Management and Orchestration (MANO). A Hardware (HW) trust server (130, 531-532) issues a HW trust challenge to a MANO system (121-124, 521-528). The MANO system (121-124, 521-528) hashes its physically-embedded hardware trust key to generate a HW trust result and transfers the HW trust result to the HW trust server (130, 531-532). The HW trust server (130, 531-532) validates the hardware trust result and transfers a HW trust certificate to the MANO system (121-124, 521-528). The MANO system (130, 531-532) transfers the HW trust certificate and NFV MANO data to an NFV Infrastructure (NFVI) (101-103, 501-503). The NFVI (101-103, 501-503) validates the HW trust certificate. The NFVI (101-103, 501-503) exchanges user data responsive to the NFV MANO data when the HW trust certificate is valid. The NFVI (101-103, 501-503) isolates the NFV MANO data when the HW trust certificate is not valid.
Abstract:
An LTE network (100, 300, 400) having a plurality of base stations (110, 320, 420) and S-GWs (120, 340, 440) processes GTP packets to determine an amount of GTP tunnels (140, 382, 491-492) between the base stations (110, 320, 420) and the S-GWs (120, 340, 440). The LTE network (100, 300, 400) processes the amount of GTP tunnels (140, 382, 491-492) to determine a target amount of LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450) to serve the base stations (110, 320, 420). If the target amount of the LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450) is greater than a current amount of the LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450), then an additional amount of virtual LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450) is implemented to serve the base stations (110, 320, 420). If the target amount of the LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450) is less than the current amount of the LTE P-GWs (130, 350 450) then an amount of the virtual LTE P-GWs (130, 350, 450) that serve the base stations (110, 320, 420) are removed.
