Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices to reduce the channel estimation overhead by collecting data from many UEs and building a location-based mathematical model are disclosed. During building of the model, a reference signal is used to collect location- and signal-related data from connected UEs. Once the model is successfully built, it is then transmitted and/or downloaded to each new UE that connects to the base station. The UEs and/or the base stations then use this model to determine their own transmission parameter values. The UEs also report their location to the base stations, which use the model to estimate channel conditions and adapt transmission parameters for themselves.

Abstract: Systems and methods for avoiding radio frequency (RF) interference are discussed herein. To protect incumbent stations of a communications network, a wireless carrier can direct signals transmitted by network sites away from the proximal incumbent sites or can prevent transmitting signals from the network sites in the direction(s) of the proximal incumbent sites. The disclosed systems and methods can prevent interference by not transmitting the network signal in a direction of a proximal incumbent site without any prior information about the incumbent stations relative to proximal network sites (e.g., location, height, or the like). The disclosed systems and methods can transmit test signals, receive confirmation signals, and analyze confirmation signals to determine the direction(s) in which to not transmit network signals.

Abstract: The disclosed system causes a UE to determine a signal strength associated with a communication provided to the UE by a base station. Based on the signal strength, the system causes the UE to determine whether to establish a connection with the base station. Upon determining to not establish the connection with the base station, the system sends a request to the UE to connect to a repeater that includes a first radio and a second radio. The system establishes a communication channel between the repeater and the UE, wherein the communication channel enables the low-power communication of information. The system communicates the information between the first radio and the second radio, encodes the information into a high-power communication, and sends the high-power communication to a non-terrestrial network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing maximum uplink transmission power of a UE. Based at least in part on a determination that the UE is greater than a predetermined threshold distance from a user, the maximum uplink power limit is increased from a default level to a higher level to facilitate extended-range communication in the uplink. With a greater maximum uplink power limit, the UE can communicate more effectively in degraded channel conditions or with base stations that are located at greater ranges from the UE, such as extra-terrestrial base stations including satellites.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, identifying, and locating a source of radio frequency (RF) interference are discussed herein. An interference signal can prevent a user equipment (e.g., mobile phone, smartphone, or the like) from receiving a network signal altogether, can cause a temporary loss of the network signal, can affect the quality of the network signal received, or the like. The system allows for an interference source emitting the interference signal to be detected, identified, and located so that the signal can be powered off to clear a frequency band, thereby improving network service.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing usage of wireless network equipment in a spectrum band that is in the process of being cleared. A regulatory agency may repurpose spectrum bands and define a transition period during which current or former licensees must vacate the band. A new licensee may begin using the spectrum band subject to various regulations in effect during the transition period, such as a requirement that the new licensee not interfere with current or former licensees that have not yet vacated. A spectrum band transition management system may thus be used to manage wireless network equipment and spectrum usage during the transition period. The spectrum band transition management system allows the new licensee to track potential interference sources and their vacate dates, mitigate interference sent and received during the transition period, and engineer a network that makes efficient use of spectrum during and after the transition.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for a spectrum management service. A spectrum management service may be utilized to manage wireless spectrum licenses, which may associated with various license-holders, spectrum bands, and geographic regions. The spectrum management service may determine a utilization of various spectrum licenses based on capacity data and usage data from a wireless service provider, and may identify underutilized licenses and/or regions within a wireless network where additional spectrum may be required. The spectrum management service may further identify candidates for spectrum license swaps, analyze proposed or actual license swaps, identify transmissions outside of licensed areas, and analyze information from various sources to improve the efficiency of licensed spectrum usage.
