Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive, during release from a radio access network (RAN), resource information associated with attaching to the RAN, wherein the resource information is received based on the device being authenticated. The UE may store the resource information in a data structure associated with the UE, and may receive, when the UE includes a payload of data packets to transmit to the RAN, a signal from the RAN. The UE may determine, based on the signal, whether the RAN is a same RAN that provided the resource information, and may determine whether a strength of the signal from the RAN satisfies a threshold when the RAN is the same RAN that provided the resource information. The UE may attach to the RAN when the strength of the signal satisfies the threshold, and may provide the payload to the RAN via a random access channel of the RAN.

Abstract: A system includes a first antenna array, and a sector scheduler. The sector scheduler determines if a number of transmit antennas of the first antenna array, that serves a location of a user equipment (UE), is less than a maximum multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) capability of the UE. The sector scheduler causes data to be transmitted to the UE via one or more transmit antennas of the first antenna array and at least one transmit antenna associated with a second antenna array of a selected adjacent sector based on the number of transmit antennas of the first antenna array being less than the maximum MIMO capability of the UE.

Abstract: A first base station determines a maximum MIMO capability of a UE that equals a maximum number of spatial layers that the UE can receive. The first base station determines if the number of transmit antennas of the first base station, that serves a location of the UE, is less than the maximum MIMO capability of the UE and identifies adjacent sectors that currently serve the location of the UE. The first base station selects at least one adjacent sector, associated with a second base station, from the identified adjacent sectors based on the number of transmit antennas of the first base station being less than the maximum MIMO capability of the UE, and causes data to be transmitted to the UE via one or more transmit antennas of the first base station and at least one transmit antenna associated with the selected at least one adjacent sector.
