Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for handling random access procedures. In one embodiment, an access network element that stores an MTC reservation pattern that defines at least one MTC-On interval where MTC is allowed, and defines at least one MTC-Off interval where MTC is prohibited. During an MTC-On interval, the access network element receives preambles for random access procedures from MTC devices, and performs the random access procedures for the MTC devices in response to the preambles. The access network element detects a transition from the MTC-On interval to a next MTC-Off interval, and determines whether the random access procedures for the MTC devices will complete before the transition. If not, the access network element modifies the MTC reservation pattern to expedite completion of the random access procedures.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing radio resources on an air interface. One embodiment comprises an access network element (e.g., base station) that stores a plurality of sharing patterns each comprising a different mapping of the radio resources on a physical layer of the air interface between Machine-Type Communications (MTC) and non-MTC. The access network element identifies a resource sharing window, receives input indicating conditions in the access network, selects a sharing pattern from the plurality of sharing patterns in the pattern database for the resource sharing window based on the conditions in the access network, schedules MTC transmissions on the air interface at a beginning of the resource sharing window based on the sharing pattern, and schedules non-MTC transmissions on the air interface at the beginning of the resource sharing window based on the sharing pattern.

Abstract: A wireless transmission control capability may be used to control downlink (DL) transmissions for a set of wireless user devices or for an individual wireless user device. A DL transmission control capability for a set of wireless user devices may include receiving DL channel operating parameter information associated with a set of cells, determining DL channel operating parameter distribution information based on the DL channel operating parameter information, and determining default DL channel operating parameter information for the set of cells based on the DL channel operating parameter distribution information and a target associated with the set of cells. A DL transmission control capability for an individual wireless user device may include determining radio link layer (RLL) retransmission information associated with a wireless user device and determining, based on the RLL retransmission information associated with the wireless user device, whether to modify an attribute of the wireless user device.

Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems include determining whether data packets are received within a desired time interval and/or transmitted within the desired time interval, the desired time interval is a desired amount of time between a reception of a first data packet and a reception of a second data packet; transmitting a first signal to a user equipment (UE) when each data packet is received within the desired time interval and/or transmitted within the desired time interval, the first signal instructing the UE to enter a delay-sensitive state such that the UE communicates data packets over a first channel; and transmitting a second signal to the UE when each data packet is not received within the desired time interval and/or not transmitted within the desired time interval, the second signal instructing the UE to enter a non-delay-sensitive state such that the UE communicates data packets over a second channel.
