Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reducing processing time of messages that are repeatedly received, with increasing frequency, by a device (e.g., user equipment, base station etc.). For example, the systems and methods would have a mobile device increase power, possibly to maximum power-out, per policy, if messages beyond the original are received and the time between those messages is decreasing. The decrease in time between messages indicates a more urgent need for the mobile device to power up. The systems and methods can be adapted for different types of messages (e.g., power-up, power-down, resource request, bandwidth request, service type, call type origination, quality-of-service request, application type, etc.). Each message type is associated with a policy (pre-determined or adaptive) that indicates the default behavior when the method detects a decrease in time between messages.

Abstract: A mobile communications device is configured to implement dual connectivity, using both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio and a 5th-Generation (5G) radio, for communicating with respective base stations of a cellular network. A primary transmission uplink is established in a first radio frequency band using the LTE radio. The device may then receive a request to establish a secondary transmission uplink in a second frequency band. Upon receiving the request, the device determines whether it can support concurrent use of the primary and secondary frequency bands while maintaining adequate receiver sensitivity. If the device cannot support such concurrent use, the device refuses the request. In addition, the device provides data indicating the degree by which certain performance parameters would be out-of-tolerance if the secondary connection were to be established.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for pre-steering traffic within a telecommunications network. In some embodiments, the systems and methods pre-steer traffic by steering user devices to optimal or suitable frequency bands of a network before the user devices begin streaming content and/or performing other actions via the network.

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.
