  • Patent number: 10764172
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves data content to a wireless user device. An access wireless relay wirelessly receives a user request for the data content from the wireless user device. The access wireless relay wirelessly transfers the data content to the wireless user device when it stores the data content. When the access wireless relay does not store the data content, it transfers content requests having a Time-To-Live (TTL). Serving wireless relays receive the content requests during the TTL. The serving wireless relays transfer the data content to the access wireless relay if they store the data content. The serving wireless relays forward the content requests with the TTL when they do not store the data content. Terminating wireless relays receive the content requests after the TTL. The terminating wireless relays stop forwarding the content requests.

  • Patent number: 10051646
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software to dynamically provide carrier aggregation to wireless communication devices. In one example, a method of operating an eNodeB includes exchanging first wireless communication signals with a wireless communication device using a first carrier aggregation configuration. The method further provides identifying a request from the wireless communication device for a modified quality of service, and determining a second carrier aggregation configuration based on the request. The method also includes exchanging second wireless communication signals with the wireless communication device using the second carrier aggregation configuration.
