Abstract: A method for generating a geofence includes receiving, at an automated frequency coordination (AFC) system, a geofence request from an AFC device where the geofence request requests to use a licensed radio frequency band and includes one or more operating parameters for the AFC device. The method also includes determining, by the AFC system, whether any of the one or more operating parameters interfere with any licensed devices on the licensed radio frequency band. When none of the one or more operating parameters interfere with any of the licensed devices on the licensed frequency band, the method further includes generating, by the AFC system, based on the one or more operating parameters, a geofence defining an operating boundary for the AFC device to communicate within. The method also includes communicating, from the AFC system to the AFC device, a response to the geofence request where the response includes the geofence.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments for handing off wireless communication. The apparatus comprises an antenna configured to receive data from a first access point; a cache configured to store the data; and a controller configured to predict when the transceiver will hand off a connection from the first access point to a second access point and request a burst of data from the first access point to supplement the data in the cache in preparation for the hand off.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adaptive access and handover configuration based on historical data are provided. Access and handover decisions are optimized in a multiple radio access technology environment using historical data associated with network performance. Future needs for access and handovers are predicted using historical data associated with the user and historical data associated with network performance. Performance metrics are received periodically or continuously from nodes in one or more networks at a centralized controller. The centralized multi RAT controller correlates these performance metrics and determines predicted handovers for a user device. Preparations for the predicted handovers can then be made prior to the handover event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for staged connectivity and sleep mode are provided. Embodiments of the present disclosure optimize power consumption for a user across user devices by creating an ad hoc co-located network of user devices and establishing a device in the co-located network to act as a master (hub) device. In an embodiment, the system includes multiple user wireless devices and a network controller. The network controller identifies a set of proximate wireless devices and the power capability for each wireless device in the set. The network controller then selects a wireless device in the set to act as the hub (master) wireless device based on factors such as the power capabilities of each wireless device. The network controller then instructs the other wireless devices in the set to power down and instructs the appropriate network providers to handover communications to the hub (master) device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing dynamic substream definition and handover are provided. In embodiments, a user device includes a multiple radio access technology (RAT) communications modules and a communication controller. Each RAT communication module is further configured to communicate using a different RAT. The user device identifies available networks for communication. Then, the controller determines whether a need to split a communications stream exists (e.g., the user device is engaged in a bandwidth intensive application). If the communications stream is to be split, the controller defines the substreams (either equally or unequally) and assigns a first substream to a communication pathway in a first available network and assigns a second substream to a communication pathway in a second available network. The destination then recombines the substreams. In embodiments, the controller inserts synchronization in the substreams.

Abstract: A wireless communication device communicating with a serving base station in a wireless communication environment may have one or more applications running. When seeking to handover from the serving base station to a target base station, the wireless communication device adjusts the configurations of the applications based on the new communication link properties. Likewise, when an application is loaded that prefers communication link properties that exceeds a current communication link's capabilities, the wireless communication device may seek out and hand over to other communication links. By cooperatively coordinating the functionality of installed applications with communication link properties, the wireless communication device can maintain high levels of device and application functionality.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for bridging and routing offload in a multiport wireless system are presented. Various aspects of the system may include a wireless network interface subsystem that enables transcoding of at least a portion of a data packet received by the wireless network interface subsystem. The wireless network interface subsystem may enable transfer of the transcoded portion of the data packet from the wireless network interface subsystem to a wired network interface subsystem that is communicatively coupled thereto. The transcoded portion of the data packet may be compliant with a format utilized by the wired network interface subsystem.

The processors and/or circuits may be operable to determine a transmitted signal power level based on the determined maximum input level. The processors and/or circuits may be operable to transmit subsequent signals via a distinct Bluetooth connection based on the determined transmitted signal power level. The data rate for signal transmission via the distinct Bluetooth connection may exceed the data rate for signal transmission via the BR connection and the data rate for signal transmission via the EDR connection.
