Abstract: A first access node of a first wireless access network receives, via a first entry node of the first network, a service-request message from a terminal registered with the first network. The first access node requests first network-capacity information associated with the first wireless access network from the first entry node, and second network-capacity information associated with a second wireless access network from a second access node of the second network. The first access node selects a target access network based on the service-request message and the first and second network-capacity information. The first access node, in response to a selection of the first wireless access network, sends a service-reply message to the first entry node. The first access node, in response to a selection of the second wireless access network, triggers a handover of the terminal to the second wireless access network.

Abstract: A communication cell may receive a request to establish a communication session for delivery to a core network of carrier network, the request originating from a user device connected to the communication cell. A lookup table stored in the communication cell is populated with an association of a session identifier assigned to the communication session and a caller identifier of the user device. The request is placed into an uplink buffer portion of the communication cell that is set aside for the user device. The request is encoded into one or more physical resource blocks reserved for the communication cell by a macrocell, the physical resource blocks being a part of a wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell. The one or more physical resource blocks that include the request from the communication cell are then transmitted to the macrocell for delivery to the core network.

Abstract: A computing system may utilize interfering signals of two or more wireless devices for improving communications involving the two or more wireless devices. These techniques and architectures may allow for improved spectral efficiency that enables a relatively large number of wireless devices to communicate among one another via receivers that share overlapping or adjacent frequencies. Such utilization of interfering signals may help solve a general problem involving, for example, co-channel interference (CCI) arising from densely deployed relatively small wireless communication cells for increasing communication throughput.

Abstract: A base station can select orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) numerologies that define subcarrier spacing values based on attributes associated with one or more services that a user equipment (UE) is using. The base station can use the selected OFDM numerologies for transmission associated with the services. When the UE is using multiple services simultaneously, the base station can select the same or different OFDM numerologies for the multiple services.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a guardband for a frequency channel based at least in part on a roll-off of a filter or a type of a filter are described herein. The filter may be a filter of a base station and the frequency channel may be used for transmissions from the base station to a mobile device. Alternatively, the filter may be a filter of a mobile device and the frequency channel may be used for transmissions from the mobile device to the base station. Further, because different filters of different mobile devices may have different roll-offs or types of filters, different guardbands may be determined for different mobile devices communicating over a same frequency channel. Upon determining the guardband, a base station may select a subcarrier based at least in part on the determined guardband.

Abstract: A communication cell may use a wireless in-band backhaul to route backhaul traffic to a macrocell of a carrier network such that the backhaul traffic is delivered to a core network of the carrier network. The communication cell may route backhaul traffic of user devices via the wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell. The wireless in-band backhaul may take place of a dedicated backhaul between the communication cell and the core network. As the backhaul traffic is routed, if a characteristic of the wireless communication between the communication cell and the macrocell fails to meet a threshold, an antenna of the communication cell may be electrically or mechanically adjusted to improve the characteristic of the wireless communication. The adjustment of the antenna includes performing a beam forming or moving one or more antenna elements of the antenna.
