Abstract: According to aspects herein, methods and systems for prioritizing paired versus un-paired spectrum selection in carrier aggregation scenarios are provided. More particularly, after determining a node comprises at least one time division duplex (TDD) layer and a frequency division duplex (FDD) layer, a FDD bandwidth is compared to a TDD effective bandwidth. The TDD effective bandwidth considers the slot pattern on the TDD layer. Based on the comparison and capabilities of user equipment (UE), a TDD layer or the FDD layer is selected for carrier aggregation. In this way, priority can be given to the TDD layer or the FDD layer to provide the highest effective bandwidth or to accommodate various load balancing scenarios.

The UE may selectively transmit the uplink communication, or selectively process the downlink communication, based at least in part on a result of comparing the first value to the second value. Numerous other aspects are described.

The data analysis circuitry determines a spectral efficiency ratio for the radio band based on loading for the radio band and the geographic location. The data analysis circuitry estimates a downlink speed for the geographic location and the radio band based on the spectral efficiency ratio, the spectral efficiency, and the bandwidth.

Abstract: An access and mobility management function (AMF) and a unified data management node (UDM) described herein are configured to refrain from sending messages between each other in the contexts of handovers between 4G (fourth generation) and 5G (fifth generation) technologies and of initial registration on 5G. During a handover from 5G to 4G, the UDM sets a 5G registration status to not active and refrains from sending a deregistration notification to the AMF. During a handover from 4G to 5G that is not an initial registration, the AMF refrains from sending get messages and subscribe messages to the UDM but receives updates to subscriber profile information from the UDM. Further, during an initial 5G registration, the AMF refrains from sending subscribe messages to the UDM but receives updates to subscriber profile information from the UDM.
