Abstract: A communication system with uninterrupted service in citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band is provided. The communication system includes a first base station that is in communication with at least one core network of a wireless communication service provider. The first base station is further in communication with a spectrum access system (SAS) that allocates communication channels in the CBRS band. The first base station uses the CBRS band to communicate with user equipment (UE) over a first CBRS band communication channel. A channel moving function is configured to redirect communications from the first CBRS band communication channel when a termination of grant to the first CBRS communication channel is issued by the SAS to a second communication channel provided by a second base station that provides a service coverage area for the UE through at least a second RP before the first CBRS communication channel is terminated.

Abstract: During operation, a computer receives an attachment request from a radio node, where the attachment request is associated with an electronic device, and includes an identifier of the radio node, an identifier of the electronic device and an identifier of a service provider. Then, the computer determines a first entity identifier of an entity based at least in part on the identifier of the radio node and a second entity identifier of the entity based at least in part on the identifier of the electronic device. When the first entity identifier matches the second entity identifier, the computer performs authentication of the electronic device. Alternatively, if the entity identifiers are different, but the identifier of the service provider matches a stored identifier, the computer performs the authentication of the electronic device. Otherwise, the computer does not allow the electronic device to attach to a private or neutral-host network.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for more accurately determining co-channel interference at PAL CBSDs. Techniques are also provided for determining co-channel interference at GAA CBSDS and cross link interference at PAL and GAA CBSDs. Co-channel interference at a CBSD can be mitigated by changing a channel on which the CBSD receives to an available channel. Cross link interference can be mitigated by changing a frame structure(s) of CBSD(s).

Abstract: A method of operating a communication system with cellular and wireless local-area network (WLAN) integration is provided. The method comprising in a downlink direction, selecting user information to be communicated to user equipment (UE) using a WLAN service; communicating quality of service (QoS) information associated with the user information generated by a cellular network to a WLAN access point; using a scheduler of the of WLAN access point to schedule downlink resources based on the QoS information; and wirelessly communicating the user information associated with the QoS information through the WLAN access point to at least one user equipment (UE) based on the scheduling of downlink resources by the scheduler.

Abstract: An electronic device that establishes a second connection is described. After determining its location, the electronic device may provide information that specifies the location to a cellular-telephone network using a first connection to the cellular-telephone network. In response, the electronic device may receive mapping information. When the mapping information indicates that there are available channels in associated bands of frequencies at the location, the electronic device may: perform a scan of the available channels in the associated bands of frequencies; and establish the second connection with a radio node based on scan results. Alternatively, when the mapping information indicates that there are no available channels in associated frequency bands at the location, the electronic device may establish a third connection with the radio node in a licensed band of frequencies.

Abstract: A system for integrating wireless service providers' core networks with Wi-Fi radios using a Wireless Services Gateway (WSG). The WSG can allow wireless device users to seamlessly connect to a network such as the internet using both cellular phone antennae as well as Wi-Fi radio antennae while still utilizing their preferred wireless service provider's core network system of billing, authenticating and policy decision making. This system can allow for data transmission of wireless devices through Wi-Fi instead of through cellular antennae, thus increasing bandwidth and data transmission rates.

Abstract: During operation, an electronic device may receive one or more first packets from another electronic device, where the one or more first packets include policy information and credential information. Based on the policy information and the credential information, the electronic device may establish an access point name (APN) transport pairing between the electronic device and the other electronic device, where the APN transport pairing is associated with a visited network that uses a shared-license-access band of frequencies or a licensed spectrum. Note that the policy information and the credential information may specify the APN transport pairing with the visited network, and that the policy information and the credential information may be pre-installed in or on the other electronic device. Moreover, the communication between a radio node in the visited network and the other electronic device may use an LTE communication protocol.

Abstract: In order to facilitate access to multiple networks, an electronic device may first authorize a portable electronic device to access a radio-access network associated with a network operator. In particular, the electronic device may provide a request with a first identifier for a portable electronic device to an authentication/authorization server for access to the radio-access network. After receiving first authorization information from the authentication/authorization server for the portable electronic device to access the radio-access network, the electronic device may provide a second request with a second identifier of the portable electronic device to a second server for access to a second network associated with the second server and an entity. Based on the subsequent response from the second server, the electronic device may provide access information to a radio node that allows the portable electronic device to access the radio-access network, or radio-access network and the second network.
