Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a central cloud server that obtains a first type of telemetry information from a plurality of hybrid analog-digital repeater devices and a second type of telemetry information from a master wireless access point device and service wireless access point devices. Based on the first type of telemetry information and the second type of telemetry information, a performance degradation is detected of the master wireless access point device operating in a primary gateway role in the wireless backhaul mesh network. A new master wireless access point device is elected from a plurality of network nodes based on defined election criteria when the performance degradation is detected beyond defined threshold. The new master wireless access point device previously operating in a network role different from the primary gateway role in the wireless backhaul mesh network is switched to operate in the primary gateway role.

Abstract: A base station of a cellular network determines that a mobile device is in an ON period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The base station determines that a number of data units in a buffer corresponding to the mobile device is at least a threshold value. The threshold value is a number greater than one. In response to determining that the number of data units in the buffer is at least the threshold value and that the mobile device is in the ON period, the base station initiates transmission, to the mobile device over the cellular network, of at least some of the data units in the buffer. Some implementations include a latency timer that can trigger initiation of data unit transmission.

Abstract: This application relates to a distributed software-defined network (“DSDN”) for dynamically configuring and managing a wireless communication network. A plurality of DSDN nodes are connected to each other via a plurality of communication paths. Each communication path directly connects two DSDN nodes. Each DSDN node can provide DSDN configurations across diverse and disparate networks by normalizing its data plane network traffic through translation and packet encapsulation. Furthermore, the DSDN node can provide an architecture tolerant of network interruptions and network system fluctuations. For example, in the case of any one of the DSDN node's network interruptions from other DSDN nodes, the DSDN can provide network reconfiguration using network configuration rules stored in a control plane of each DSDN node.
