  • Patent number: 11076270
    Abstract: A wireless access node serves wireless user devices with different services over a common radio channel. The different services are supported by different wireless network slices. The wireless access node determines service subchannels in the radio channel based on location and time. The wireless access node schedules resource blocks from the subchannels for their corresponding services. If a subchannel for one service is full, then the wireless access node schedules the remaining data for the service in the unscheduled resource blocks of the other subchannels if any. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges data for the services with the wireless user devices over the scheduled resource blocks in the subchannels of the radio channel. The wireless access node exchanges the data with the wireless network slices that support the services.

  • Patent number: 11076268
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described wherein an initiating device sends a communication requesting a voice call session with a recipient device. In response, the initiating device receives a communication indicating that the initiating device can provide a text message instead of establishing the voice call session. In some cases, the communication may refuse the request voice call session, while in other cases the communication may simply indicate that the recipient device supports text messaging as an alternative to voice mail. As a result of the received communication, the initiating device outputs a text input prompt. After receiving text input in response to the prompt, the initiating device sends a text message containing the received text input.

  • Patent number: 11075738
    Abstract: Arrangements disclosed here provide an LTE E-RAN employing a hierarchical architecture with a central controller controlling multiple LTE radio nodes (RNs). The RNs may be clustered within the small cell network. A fractional frequency reuse (“FFR”) scheme is provided that dynamically computes the FFR allocations at individual RNs and configures the corresponding schedulers within each RN to improve cell-edge users' experience. Once an FFR pattern has been generated and frequencies allocated, UE throughput can be emulated to predict the resulting bit rates for each UE. Using the prediction, a scheduler emulation may be run to predict the behavior of the system. The results of each cell may then be collected to generate the performance of the entire system, which may in turn be used to generate a new or modified FFR pattern, or new or modified clustering. Optimization of the performance results in an optimized FFR pattern.
