摘要： Network scheduling in unlicensed spectrums is described. A scheduler can assess, at a first time, first conditions of an unlicensed spectrum, such as Long-Term Evolution unlicensed spectrum. Based at least partly on the first conditions, the scheduler can determine a schedule for transmitting data via the unlicensed spectrum. The scheduler can, for a first period of time, facilitate transmission of data between mobile devices that are communicatively coupled to the communication tower based at least partly on the schedule. At a second time after the first time, the scheduler can assess second conditions of the unlicensed spectrum and update the schedule based at least partly on the second conditions to generate an updated schedule. For a second period of time, the scheduler can facilitate transmission of data between the mobile devices based at least in part on the updated schedule.

摘要： Techniques for managing a service plan by a telecommunication network provider are described herein. The telecommunication network provider can implement a billing system to establish, update, or otherwise determine a service plan that is based on a user identity rather than a specific device identifier. The service plan can include a billing rate for multiple devices to connect to a telecommunications network without requiring that the service plan identify device information for each of the multiple devices. The billing system can receive user information from a device, authenticate a user identity, and analyze data in a service plan to determine whether to generate a connection credential for connecting the device to the telecommunications network.

摘要： Systems, methods, and devices can be used to perform service-aware utilization of shared wireless resources. In various instances, a quality metric (e.g., a Bit Error Rate (BER)) of a shared wireless resource is determined. Requested services can be provided based at least partly on the quality metric and the type of services being requested. For example, when the quality metric exceeds a threshold and the requested services are for Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive services (e.g., Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) services), the services can be provided at least partially via a licensed wireless resource. However, when the quality metric does not exceed the threshold, and/or the requested services are for non-QoS-sensitive services (e.g., non-GBR services), the services can be provided via the shared wireless resource.

摘要： Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to intelligently allocating network resources to Quality of Service (QoS)-sensitive data traffic. An example method includes identifying a request to deliver QoS-sensitive services to a User Equipment (UE) over at least one delivery network. The at least one delivery network may include at least one reserved resource and at least one pooled resource. The QoS-sensitive services are determined to be delivered over the at least one pooled resource. In addition, delivery of the QoS-sensitive services is caused over the at least one pooled resource.

摘要： Methods and computing systems for sharing content between related devices in a cellular network are described. A first device receives content from an external content source via a wireless connection, and causes presentation of the content on an output device of the first device. The first device retrieves information for one or more related devices that utilize the same telephone number the first device for sending and receiving at least cellular communications via the cellular network. The first device enables sharing of the content with at least one related device of the one or more related devices.

摘要： A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network. An LTE base station can be configured to broadcast information regarding whether it supports Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) dual-network connectivity in conjunction with an associated NR base station. A communication device may use one of multiple strategies to determine whether 5G services are actually available at any particular time, and may display a corresponding network technology symbol when 5G services are accessible. The multiple strategies may be stored in non-volatile memory of the communication device. Policy information received from the communication system may specify which of the multiple policies is to be the active strategy, so that the network provider can change strategies without needing to perform a firmware or software upgrade.

摘要： Techniques for dynamically determining coverage area and data throughput in a heterogeneous network are discussed herein. In some examples, a base station can use frequency resources from a Citizens Broadband Radio Service band provided that such use does not cause harmful interference for incumbent users. For example, to avoid interfering with an incumbent device while maintaining transmission, an algorithm may be deployed to dynamically determine data throughput for the base station and connected user equipment based on interference level and traffic type. The base station can receive interference information with uplink feedback from the user equipment. Interference information can also be used to configure the base station to dynamically adjust its data coverage area, for example, by varying a transmission power. As the conditions at a base station change over time (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, etc.), data coverage area can be reconfigured at the base station.

摘要： Handling supplementary services offered in association with Internet Protocol multimedia services based on particular policies is described. In an example, server(s) can receive, from a first user device, a policy associated with handling one or more communications directed to a particular identifier. The server(s) can subsequently receive a communication from a second user device, the communication being associated with a header identifying the particular identifier as the intended recipient of the communication. The server(s) can determine whether the policy is to be applied to the communication and, based at least partly on determining that the policy is to be applied to the communication, the server(s) can update the header based at least in part on the policy. The server(s) can transmit the communication based at least in part on the header, thereby transmitting the communication pursuant to the policy.

摘要： Cross-platform video conversation between related devices is described. Techniques described herein include receiving, by a first device registered with a network to utilize a communication address for sending and receiving cellular communications via the network, live video associated with a video conversation between the first device and a second device. Information for related device(s) may be retrieved by the first device. The related device(s) may be related to the first device based on utilizing the communication address for sending and receiving at least communications via the network and/or being associated with a same subscriber account as the first device. Moreover, techniques described herein enable the first device to share the live video with related device(s) to enable the related device(s) to join the video conversation irrespective of which computing platform provides conversational video services for each of the related device(s).
