Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for QoS chaining based on control-plane virtual functions for ensuring end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) of Internet services. The QoS chaining coordinates broadband service delivery via an orchestrated “chain” or Network Service (NS) consisting of control-plane Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) running in the cloud or virtual infrastructure. Separate service elements, network elements, network domains or other service plane or data plane elements or systems have a separate corresponding VNF in the control plane provide monitor and control functions. QoS is ensured End-to-End (E2E) across the chain of VNFs by coordination through the QoS chain or by a coordinating or integrating E2E orchestrator or E2E VNF. The VNFs may be chained, may communicate directly with each other, and may communicate directly with the E2E orchestrator, may communicate with each other through the E2E orchestrator, or may communicate through a shared database.

Abstract: Presented are Ergodic Spectrum Management (ESM) systems and methods that take advantage of the presence of statistical consistencies (“ergodicity”) and correlations, such as a wireless network's average dimensional consistencies of probability distributions (in time, space, and frequency) of channel gains, to adaptively learn qualitative and quantitative network/user behavior; estimate or predict network performance; and guide locally implemented radio resource management (RRM) decisions of wireless multi-user transmissions in a manner such as to reduce interference and improve latency; connection stability; efficiency; and overall wireless performance. ESM also enhances end-users' Quality of Experience (QoE) by allowing movement across bands and regions as users/devices roam. A remote-cloud-based resource management implementation of ESM' s Learn-ed Resource Managers (LRMs) removes the need for heavy edge-computing close to radio cells.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, devices and methods for improving the performance and range of wireless communication systems. In various embodiments, a wireless and wireline architecture is implemented to allow a channel to more efficiently span physical barriers within the channel. The wireline portion of the channel may leverage pre-existing copper deployed within a building by interfacing copper with north and south transceiver nodes that allow the signal to propagate through a physical structure on the wire itself resulting in significantly less signal degradation compared to the signal having to traverse the physical structure wirelessly.

Abstract: The transmit power level of a transceiver coupled to a digital subscriber line (DSL) line is reduced from a first transmit power level sufficient for the transceiver to transmit data on the DSL line at a first bit rate to a second transmit power level below the first transmit power level sufficient for the transceiver to transmit data on the DSL line at a second bit rate that is lower than the first bit rate. The reduction in transmit power is limited so that the change does not induce time-varying crosstalk sufficient to destabilize a nearby DSL line. While the transmit power level of the transceiver is reduced to the second transmit power level, the transceiver is suspended from transmitting data on the DSL line for repeated periods of time. Suspending the data transmission is controlled to avoid further time-varying crosstalk sufficient to destabilize the nearby DSL line.
