Abstract: A base station that controls carrier aggregation for a user equipment (UE) includes a memory configured to store weight factors for serving cells that are aggregated to provide wireless connectivity to the UE. The weight factors are determined based on characteristics of the serving cells. In some cases, the weight factors are determined based on frequencies of carriers used by the serving cells to provide the wireless connectivity to the UE. The base station also includes a processor configured to determine, based on the weight factors and a total weight assigned to the UE, weights for transmitting data to the UE via the serving cells. The base station further includes a transceiver configured to transmit data to the UE via the serving cells at priorities that are determined based on the weights for the serving cells.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a device portal management system that stores discovery data for multiple computing devices are described. The device portal management system may store first discovery data for a first computing device and second discovery data from a second computing device. A user associated with the first computing device and the second computing device may access the discovery data via the device portal management system. The user may further configure the first computing device and the second computing device via the device portal management system.

Abstract: A local network call handling device is configured to establish multiple concurrent call sessions between local network end devices and an external network. When a prioritized end device attempts to establish a call session, the call handling device may initially determine if a first call session identifier is available. If so, the call session can be established using that first identifier. If the first identifier is in use for a call session of another end device, the call handling device may either use a different call session identifier for the prioritized end device session or may drop a pre-existing call session to free an identifier for use in connection with the prioritized end device.

Abstract: A method of facilitating multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) in a communications network including one or more first evolved node Bs (eNBs) having backhaul interfaces for a first internet protocol (IP) version and one or more second eNBs having backhaul interfaces for a second IP version includes receiving, at a first network element, an initial MBMS content stream; generating, at the first network element, based on the initial MBMS content stream, a first MBMS content stream and a second MBMS content stream; transmitting the first MBMS content stream from the first network element to the one or more first eNBs using a first IP multicast address of the first IP version; and transmitting the second MBMS content stream from the first network element to the one or more second eNBs using a second IP multicast address of the second IP version.
