Abstract: A wireless communication relay tests data throughputs over a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) network XCVR and a wireline network XCVR. The testing over the wireline network XCVR comprises a test of the data throughputs through a Local Break-Out (LBO) router or an N3 Interworking Function (N3IWF). The relay selects one of the 5GNR network XCVR and the wireline network XCVR based on the data throughput testing and indicates the selected network XCVR to a user XCVR. The user XCVR exchanges user data with the wireless UE and exchanges the user data with the selected one of the 5GNR network XCVR and the wireline network XCVR. The selected one of the 5GNR network XCVR and the wireline network XCVR exchanges the user data with one or more data communication networks.

Abstract: A wireless communication network receives a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) profile from a User Equipment (UE) and authenticates the UE based on the first SIM profile. The network receives a first slice request from the UE and authorizes a first wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the first SIM profile and the first slice request. The network receives a second SIM profile from the UE and authenticates the UE based on the second SIM profile. The network receives a second slice request from the UE and authorizes a second wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the second SIM profile and the second slice request. The network wirelessly exchanges first slice data with the UE over the first wireless network slice, and simultaneously, exchanges second slice data with the UE over the second wireless network slice.

Abstract: User circuitry within a wireless User Equipment (“UE”) that may utilize multiple subscriber identity module (“SIM”) profiles activates two or more SIM profiles to be active simultaneously. The user circuitry transfers service requests for wireless data services using the SIM profiles to network circuitry. The wireless data services may have different slice service types over different operating frequency bands of different target cells. The network circuitry wirelessly exchanges data with wireless access nodes associated with the target cells over the operating frequency bands to establish packet data unit sessions comprising the slice service types using the respective SIM profiles such that multiple packet data unit sessions are active using multiple SIM profiles simultaneously. Various applications may be mapped to the appropriate SIM profile and packet data unit session based on the respective provisioned slice characteristics matching the respective application requirements.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling configuration of a relay, where the relay has a coverage footprint and provides service on a first air interface having a frequency bandwidth, and where the relay is served by a donor access node over a second air interface on which the donor access node provides service.

Abstract: A wireless access node serves wireless User Equipment (UEs) and wireless Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Terminations (IAB MTs). A radio exchanges access communications with the UEs over a frequency channel. The radio receives an IAB request from one of the IAB MTs, and in response, a controller allocates the frequency channel into a UE subchannel and an MT subchannel. The radio now exchanges access communications with the UEs over the UE subchannel and exchanges backhaul communications with the wireless IAB MT over the MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is added to give the new IAB MT its own MT subchannel. The controller reallocates the frequency channel when an IAB MT is removed to increase the size of the UE subchannel.

The network transceiver selects wireless access points based on their signal strength and calculated cross-relay interference levels. The network transceiver exchanges user data with the selected wireless access points. The user transceiver exchanges the user data with the wireless user devices.

Abstract: A wireless data relay has radio circuitry to wirelessly scan a frequency band having frequency channels. The radio circuitry attaches to a wireless network over the frequency band. The radio circuitry receives signaling from the wireless network indicating allowed frequency channels and transfers the signaling to control circuitry. In the wireless data relay, the control circuitry processes the signaling to direct the radio circuitry to use the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. In response, the radio circuitry wirelessly scans the allowed frequency channels instead of the frequency band. The radio circuitry wirelessly re-attaches to the wireless communication network over the allowed frequency channels. The radio circuitry exchanges user data with the UEs. The radio circuitry exchanges the user data with the wireless network over the allowed frequency channels.

Abstract: A base station configures a TDD carrier to have a first TDD configuration for serving of a first UE and to have a second TDD configuration for serving of a second UE concurrently with the serving of the first UE. Such configuring causes the second UE to engage in an uplink communication in at least one subframe in which the first UE engages in a downlink communication, which could lead to interference issues. Therefore, the base station causes the second UE to apply uplink beamforming, so as to help minimize interference resulting from the second UE engaging in the uplink communication in the at least one subframe in which the first UE engages in the downlink communication.
