  • Patent number: 11792679
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over a backhaul link. A wireless network core identifies a wireless access node and a radio band for the wireless UE. The wireless network core selects a backhaul data rate for the wireless UE based on the radio band for the wireless UE. The wireless network core exchanges user data with the wireless access node over the backhaul link using the selected backhaul data rate. The wireless access node exchanges the user data with the wireless network core over the backhaul link using the selected backhaul data rate. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges the user data with the wireless UE over the radio band.

  • Patent number: 11729766
    Abstract: A primary wireless access node receives signaling that indicates primary power headroom for a User Equipment (UE) when transmitting to the primary wireless access node and secondary power headroom for the UE when transmitting to a secondary wireless access node. The primary wireless access node determines a primary uplink grant and a secondary uplink grant for the UE and transfers the secondary uplink grant amount to the secondary wireless access node. The primary wireless access node wirelessly transfers the primary uplink grant to the UE and wirelessly receives primary user data from the UE based on the primary uplink grant. The secondary wireless access node receives the secondary uplink grant from the primary wireless access node. The secondary wireless access node wirelessly transfers the secondary uplink grant to the UE and wirelessly receives secondary user data from the UE based on the secondary uplink grant.

  • Patent number: 11445402
    Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network core and wireless access nodes exchange user data using data rates. The wireless access nodes wirelessly exchange the data with the wireless UE over radio bands. The wireless network core determines a data rate level for the wireless UE based on the data rates. Subsequently, the wireless network core identifies a serving wireless access node and a serving radio band. The wireless network core determines a new data rate based on the data rate level and the serving radio band. The wireless network core and the serving wireless access node exchange new data using the new data rate. The serving wireless access node wirelessly exchanges the new data with the wireless UE over the serving radio band.

  • Patent number: 11310815
    Abstract: A primary wireless access node receives primary power headroom for User Equipment (UE). A secondary wireless access receives secondary power headroom for the UE and transfers the secondary power headroom to the primary wireless access node. The primary wireless access node compares the power primary headroom to the secondary power headroom to determine a primary uplink grant amount and a secondary uplink grant amount for the UE. The primary wireless access node grants primary uplink resources to the UE based on the primary uplink grant amount. The secondary wireless access node grants secondary uplink resources to the UE based on the secondary uplink grant amount. The wireless access nodes receive user data from the UE based on the uplink grant amounts.

  • Patent number: 9154287
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for alleviating time division multiplexing interference between multiple access nodes. In a particular embodiment, a method provides identifying interference between a first and a second wireless access node at a wireless communication device, wherein the first and second wireless access nodes exchange wireless communications using a time division multiplexing wireless protocol on a first carrier frequency. The method further provides determining an uplink/downlink configuration for the time division multiplexing wireless protocol of the first and second wireless access nodes that does not cause the interference. The method also provides exchanging the wireless communications at the first and second wireless access nodes using the uplink/downlink configuration.
