Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving network performance including tracking wireless signal data associated with one or more wireless networks and dynamically adjusting network parameters of the one or more wireless networks to meet service level agreement requirements based on the wireless signal data are described. Smart probes may be positioned within an environment and configured to acquire the wireless signal data and transmit the wireless signal data to a wireless network controller. The wireless network controller may acquire the wireless signal data from the smart probes, acquire network performance data from one or more computing devices using the one or more wireless networks, detect a deviation in network performance based on the wireless signal data and the network performance data, and cause one or more network parameters of the one or more wireless networks to be adjusted in response to detection of the deviation in network performance.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for flexible access to priority access tiers in shared radio frequency (RF) spectrum bands. An example embodiment provides automated mechanisms for network operators to obtain the benefits of using a priority access license (PAL) in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), including access to such protected frequency bands, on an as-needed and/or on-demand basis without having to own a PAL (CBRS-As-A-Service (CAAS)). This CAAS thereby provides an “interference insurance” service to network operators. In response to receiving an indication of the at least one condition being met (e.g., a current interference level surpassing a threshold), a priority access tier license controller automatically causes the wireless network operator to be able to operate a wireless network using the PAL to the shared frequency spectrum band and thus be protected from RF interference by lower priority access users.
