Abstract: Described herein are component(s) and device(s) of a telecommunications network. One or more of the components is configured to detect impact at a cell site on designated spectrum by a neighboring country user equipment (UE) associated with a different telecommunications network. A base station of the component(s) and device(s) blanks physical resource blocks (PRBs) associated with the designated spectrum in response to the detecting.

Abstract: A testing bench can be used while testing wireless telecommunications devices. In some examples, the testing bench includes a first surface and a second surface that houses a patch panel, a combiner, and/or an attenuator. The testing bench can be located in a shielded enclosure with at least two conductive radio frequencies (RF) shield layers separated by an insulator material. In some examples, the testing bench may receive a radio signal from a radio source located outside of the shielded enclosure and provide the radio signal to a wireless (UE) device under testing via the patch panel, the combiner and/or the attenuator.

Abstract: Techniques for selecting a wireless connection based on network metrics are discussed herein. For example, user equipment (UE) can be connected to a Wi-Fi network. The UE may test the Wi-Fi connection to determine metrics associated with the Wi-fi connection. The UE may compare the metrics to a speed and/or bandwidth threshold. If the Wi-fi connection speed is below a threshold, the UE may determine metrics associated with a cellular connection to determine whether to switch to a different cellular connection. If a first metric of the candidate cellular connection is above a threshold (e.g., a power level threshold), the UE can determine a speed or bandwidth of the connection. If the speed or bandwidth is above a threshold, the UE can attach to the cellular connection and can send and/or receive data using the newly established connection.

Abstract: A system for testing network performance using a server farm is described. A server in a server farm connected to a management network and a core network may execute virtual machines for multiple users that generate interfaces that the users interact with via the management network connection to configure network performance tests. The virtual machines convert the test configurations into instructions for a testing application and execute the tests using the testing application and the connection to the core network. Test results are provided to the users by the interfaces generated by their respective virtual machines via the management network connection.
