International Classification:

H04W 72/12
H04L 5/14

Abstract:

A base station device dynamically adjusts the configuration of a special slot when operating in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. The base station can initially communicate with a user equipment (UE) using a first frequency in a time division duplexing (TDD) mode. Using, for example, a timing advance procedure, the base station can determine when the UE requires an expanded cell range (e.g., if the UE is at the cell range edge). In response, the base station adjusts a configuration of a special slot for the UE. The adjustment to the special slot can comprise an addition of a gap symbol, a prioritizing of uplink transmissions over downlink transmissions, or a reserving of one or more downlink symbols during scheduling.

International Classification:

H04W 36/08
H04L 5/14
H04W 76/27
H04W 24/10

Abstract:

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a core network selection service is provided. The core network selection service may minimize end devices transitioning between core networks of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) radio access network (RAN) based on cell selection priority configurations. The cell selection priority configurations may be provisioned on the end device via control messaging, such as system information block messages. The core network selection service may manage the end devices when in idle mode and in a connected mode.

International Classification:

H04W 76/27
H04W 24/10
H04W 76/16
H04W 36/00

Abstract:

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a radio frequency band selection service is provided. The radio frequency band selection service may include a default service band, a default coverage band, and a threshold value that allows an end device to select a radio frequency band to camp on when in an idle mode, select a radio frequency band to obtain service when in a connected mode, and select stand-alone or non-stand-alone services.

International Classification:

H04W 72/04

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide a scheduling technique for physical radio frequency (“RF”) resources of a base station of a radio access network (“RAN”) of a wireless network. Resources for a first group of User Equipment (“UEs”) may be allocated during or prior to a first time slot, and the UEs may be notified during the first time slot of the allocated resources. The allocated resources may be provided during a subsequent second time slot. A second group of UEs may be notified, during the first time slot, of physical RF resources allocated for downlink data for the second group of resources, and such downlink data may be provided to the second group of UEs during the first time slot via the allocated physical RF resources. The assignments of the UEs to the respective groups may change over time based on network load or other metrics.
