Patent number: 10149238Abstract: Intelligent radio access control selecting a first cell device of a first cell layer or a second cell device of a second cell layer or selecting a radio access technology for communication by a mobile device are provided. A device receives information indicative of an access assignment for communication. The access assignment is generated based on a defined criterion, which is associated with a policy of determining a cell layer assignment prior to determining a radio access technology (RAT) assignment. In response to receiving the information, the device can update its configuration to transmit via a transmission parameter based on the information. The cell layer assignment can offload traffic from the first cell device to the second cell device while the RAT assignment can re-assign the device from a first RAT to a second RAT. Assignment can be based on network conditions or mobility state or applications of the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Zhi Cui, Alan Blackburn, Sangar Dowlatkhah, Ryan Hallahan, James W.

Publication number: 20160127945Abstract: A telecommunications network may provide telecommunication functionality based, at least in part, on a communications device in communication with the network. The telecommunications network may comprise a routing infrastructure (control plane) that is decoupled from the switching infrastructure (data plane). The telecommunications network may enable common wireless management and control, such as mobility management, radio resource management, quality of service (QoS), load balancing, etc., utilizing SDM control and an internet protocol, across many wireless technologies, e.g., LTE, Wi-Fi, any future 5G access technologies. The telecommunications network may implement hierarchical control functions, such as mobility management, radio resource managements, in distributed controllers, and other functions, such as, authentication, charging, in a centralized controller(s). The simplified telecommunications network may utilize an IP protocol and SDN instead of a GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2014Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: Zhi Cui, James W. Rembert, Thomas A. Anschutz
