Abstract: A network gateway device for determining information related to a designated data transmission rate for a wireless link includes at least one means for communicating for communicating with a wireless modem means. The network gateway device includes a means for controlling configured for obtaining information related to an instantaneous data transmission capacity of the wireless link via the at least one means for communicating. The means for controlling is configured for determining the information related to the designated data transmission rate based on the information related to the instantaneous data transmission capacity of the wireless link. The designated data transmission rate is lower than an average data transmission capacity of the wireless link. An availability of the designated data transmission rate over the wireless link is higher than an availability of the average data transmission capacity over the wireless link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device, such as a customer premises equipment (CPE) may include or otherwise be in communication with a cellular modem and a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP). The CPE may receive a first indication of a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration identifying an active BWP for the wireless communication. The CPE may send a second indication to switch to the active BWP for the wireless communication based on the BWP configuration. The CPE may communicate with stations (STAs) served by the CPE based on the active BWP. Additionally or alternatively, when the CPE detects a need for additional bandwidth, the CPE can request for additional bandwidth parts (e.g., BWPs).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication transmitter may monitor a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a primary bandwidth associated with the transmitter. The wireless communication transmitter may determine whether an interferer is located within the primary bandwidth based at least in part on tracking packet drops, within the primary bandwidth, that are based at least in part on the CCA. The wireless communication transmitter may monitor one or more additional CCAs for one or more secondary bandwidths associated with the transmitter. The wireless communication transmitter may determine whether an interferer is located within at least one bandwidth, of the one or more secondary bandwidths, based at least in part on tracking packet transmissions, within the one or more secondary bandwidths, that are based at least in part on the one or more additional CCAs. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for coordinating sleep modes between a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) and a cellular modem of an access point. In one aspect, the access point may obtain, from the cellular modem, information relating to a radio resource control (RRC) state transition or one or more power-saving events of the cellular modem and may select a power mode for the WLAN AP of the access device in accordance with the obtained information. In some implementations, selecting the power mode for the WLAN AP may include configuring the WLAN AP to either accept or reject a sleep mode request from a station (STA) served by the WLAN AP. As such, the access device may communicate with the STA using the WLAN AP in accordance with the accepted or rejected sleep mode request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for broadcast communications that originate at a wide area network to be provided to a local area network (LAN), that uses a different radio access technology, to complete the broadcast communications to a user equipment (UE). A device that receives the broadcast communications, such as a customer premises equipment (CPE) may decode broadcast data from the broadcast communications and provide the broadcast data to a LAN scheduler along with one or more parameters associated with the broadcast data. The LAN scheduler may establish a separate background access category (AC) queue for the broadcast data, and may transmit data from the broadcast AC queue based on one or more threshold values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multicast communications that originate at a wide area network (WAN) using a first RAT to be provided to a local area network (LAN) that uses a second RAT that is used to complete the multicast communications to a user equipment (UE). A scheduler of the second RAT may use one or more parameters associated with the multicast communications to prioritize transmission of the multicast data to one or more UEs. The scheduler of the second RAT may prioritize the multicast communications with other communications of the second RAT based on one or more of a number of clients served, a quality of service (QoS) or bandwidth of the multicast communications, a capability of the UEs, one or more other data flows, a feedback scheme associated with the multicast communications, or any combinations thereof.
