  • Patent number: 11902849
    Abstract: A cable communications network provides an alternative communications path between a user equipment device and a data network to a cellular path for a communications session with a desired level of Quality of Service. A cable modem termination system, coupled to a wireless core network, e.g., a 5G core network, interacts with the wireless core network to attempt to establish a PDU session for a UE with a desired QoS level. The core sends a QoS service request message to the CMTS including a requested level of QoS, an IP address and port number for the session. The CMTS and cable modem, corresponding to the UE, negotiate and decide if the request desired QoS level can be supported over the cable between the CMTS and the cable mode for the session.

  • Patent number: 11888541
    Abstract: A method and system of determining spectral interference are disclosed. In one embodiment, a spectral interference model for a first set of proposed base stations is obtained. The spectral interference model is implemented for the first set of proposed base stations to calculate first modeled spectral interference values, wherein each of the first modeled spectral interference values indicates a spectral interference value for a corresponding one of the first set of proposed base stations. The first set of proposed base stations are updated based on the first modeled spectral interference values to obtain a second set of proposed base stations. First empirical spectral interference values are then obtained for a first proper subset of the second set of proposed base stations. The first empirical spectral interference values are compared with the modeled spectral interference values and the second set of proposed base stations are updated based on the comparison.
