  • Patent number: 12389283
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing layer assignment to UEs that are currently on an LTE network, or that are experiencing EPS fallback and are moving from 5G to LTE. Instead of blindly assigning a UE an LTE layer or assigning the same layer to all UEs, aspects provided for an intelligent and dynamic selection of an LTE layer for each UE. The network may analyze one or both of layer compatibility information and historical data associated with the UEs. With this information, the network assigns an LTE layer to each UE.

  • Patent number: 12389442
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to address issues related to poor radio conditions (e.g., SS-RSRP/SS-RSRQ/SS-SINR) associated with poor coverage for user devices (e.g., user equipment (UEs)) positioned between Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) beams emitted from a cell tower. Specifically, Next Generation Node B (gNB) may identify the location of the user devices (reporting poor signal strength due to poor radio conditions) based on angle or arrival and/or timing advance. Systems and methods further include controlling a phase and amplitude of the SSB beam(s) serving the user device to improve the signal strength of these user devices experiencing poor radio conditions, until the signal strength is within/above target threshold value(s). In this manner, user coverage is improved, with the option to prioritize premium subscribers, without the need for employing a more expensive alternative (e.g., building additional cell sites and towers) for improving user coverage.

  • Patent number: 12382346
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure a method for dynamic steering across non-standalone and standalone network architectures based on uplink throughput requirements is provided. The method begins with determining if at least one UE is active on an SA layer. A determination is then made whether the UE has only non-guaranteed bit rate data bearers with no voice and delay sensitive bearers. The uplink buffer threshold for the at least one UE is then compared with an operator defined uplink buffer threshold. Next, a comparison is made with an uplink throughput estimate on the SA and an uplink throughput estimate for the at least one UE on an NSA layer is made. If the NSA layer has a higher uplink throughput estimate than the SA layer, a dynamic handover is performed from the SA layer to the NSA layer.

  • Publication number: 20250220093
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing network layers. Network providers often define their network with pre-defined network layer priorities depending on their spectrum holdings (e.g., bandwidth) and capability of devices. User device performance metrics are valuable data points that allow for intelligent traffic steering and network layer management based on device-specific performance related to specific network layers. Location session records (LSR) data provides detailed inputs for sessions for each user device in a network. This historical data can be utilized to identify performance issues on certain network layers for specific user devices and proactively steer the devices to other network layers to improve performance.

  • Patent number: 12342229
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a secondary node that provides assistance to primary nodes in determining whether a user device should be switched to another primary node in order to improve the service experience. In aspects, when a user device is operating with dual connectivity, a secondary node can determine whether the service experience for the user device can be improved with a handover to another primary node based on the timing advance value and/or angle of approach value for the user device relative to an index that defines value(s) for matching a user device to available primary nodes. When the service experience can be improved, the secondary node sends an assist notification to the primary node that presently serves the user device, which triggers the primary node to hand over the user device to the other primary node identified for service improvement.

  • Publication number: 20250126509
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ducting-based traffic steering. A telecommunications network manager can identify when tropospheric ducting is experienced, or expected to be experienced, at a network layer band and dynamically adjust traffic steering. Specifically, the manager can reallocate user devices to layers that are not experiencing or not anticipated to experience ducting. A load capacity of different layers is monitored such that devices are not transferred to already-overloaded layers. Once ducting is no longer experienced at the layer, any offloaded devices can be transferred back to their original layer.

  • Publication number: 20250081218
    Abstract: Various implementations generally relate to systems and methods for utilizing TIS and TRP ratings of a mobile device to identify frequency layers to prefer or avoid. A network access node detects a first frequency layer being utilized by the mobile device and generates an output based on a comparison of a capability of the mobile device to a capability threshold of the first frequency layer. Based on the output, the network access node determines whether the capability of the mobile device satisfies the capability threshold of the first frequency layer. If the capability of the mobile device does not satisfy the capability threshold, the network access node causes the mobile device to stop using the first frequency layer for communicating on the telecommunications network.

  • Patent number: 12231962
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing layer assignment based on a total QCI value associated with a UE when the UE falls back from a first wireless access technology to a second wireless access technology, such as from 5G to LTE. QCI values and/or one or more applications running on a UE are monitored to determined when a threshold is met. The UE may receive or initiate a voice call, and at this point, the UE may fallback to LTE from 5G. The network may determine that the UE should fallback to an LTE layer having the highest bandwidth to support the high total QCI value and the high number of applications running on the UE.

  • Patent number: 12219421
    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides systems and methods for dynamically assigning cell reselection priorities (e.g., system information block (SIB) priorities) to different layers (e.g., different frequency bands or different radio access technologies (RATs)) for radio cells experiencing performance degradation. In some implementations, default SIB priorities of degraded layers are downgraded based on the severity of the performance degradation, for example, set to the lowest variable SIB priority for critical performance degradations. The adjusted SIB priorities are broadcast to user equipment (UE) to allow the UEs to perform cell reselection based on the adjusted SIB priorities. When the performance degradation is resolved, the SIB priorities revert to the default SIB priorities.
