Abstract: A wireless communication device controls Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers that use a radio band. The wireless communication device determines radio band status for the radio band. The wireless communication device wirelessly indicates the radio band status for the radio band to a wireless access node. The wireless access node selects a number of the MIMO layers based on the radio band status for the radio band. The wireless communication device wirelessly receives signaling from the wireless access node that indicates the number of the MIMO layers. The wireless access node wirelessly receives user data from the wireless access node over the radio band using the number of MIMO layers in response to the signaling.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting a 4G LTE reference signal power level to match a 5G New Radio (NR) coverage footprint to avoid voice over 4G fallback failures for 5G subscribers. Initially, a subscriber making a voice call while in NR coverage may be directed to fall back to LTE in a process known as voice over evolved packet system fallback (VoEPSFB). If the LTE signal strength is worse due to non-optimal settings of the LTE reference signal, the subscriber experiences call setup failure. After the call setup failure, the UE transitions back to the gNodeB. Since the gNodeB knows the UE attempted to fall back to LTE (as well as how soon the UE transitioned back to the gNodeB), a notification is triggered that instructs the LTE base station to increase its reference signal power level.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing channel estimation in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) based cellular radio technology (e.g., 4G, 5G). Initially, the reference transmission receive power (RSRP) is reported for each antenna element, rather than as a single RSRP. This enables the base station to understand the channel condition for each MIMO transmission/reception. Using that understanding, the base station can determine the radio-frequency (RF) power level per antenna port to provide more enhanced transmission towards a specific UE, resulting in a better service experience. In other words, more accurate channel estimation based on actual RF conditions of a particular UE can be derived so the base station can tune to the actual need of the UE.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein generate an E911 location report based on an uncertainty associated with a device-based hybrid (DBH) location received from a UE device. The uncertainty may be compared to an uncertainty threshold value to determine which values to include in a location report sent to a PSAP. A civic address associated with a UE device may be included in a location report where the uncertainty is sufficiently low, thus a location report can be sent to a PSAP with the most relevant and accurate information so that first responders can more effectively locate a distressed caller.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for managing random access for devices seeking access to dual connectivity. Both master nodes and secondary nodes in dual connectivity have 64 available preambles that can be used for random access. By reserving preambles for devices that are requesting access to dual connectivity, a radio access network can assign random access preambles to said devices, enabling them to use contention free random access to gain access to both a master node and a secondary node. In some aspects random access preambles will only be assigned to devices requesting access to dual connectivity if they have a sufficiently high priority level.

Abstract: A wireless communication network receives a current message that relates to a user device for delivery to a network function. The network writes the current message to a queue. The network determines if the queue stores one or more prior messages that relate to the user device. The network transfers the current message from the queue for delivery to the network function when the queue does not store the one or more prior messages for the user device. When the queue for the user device does store the one or more prior messages for the user device, the network prioritizes the current message and the one or more prior messages by network function type and transfers the current message and the one or more prior messages that relate to the user device from the queue for delivery to the network function based on the prioritization.
