A base station may be associated with a primary cell to communicate with a user equipment (UE) in a licensed frequency band and at least one secondary cell to communicate with the UE in an unlicensed frequency band. The base station may receive a traffic flow associated with an application executing at the UE and assign the traffic flow to either the primary cell or the at least one secondary cell based on a classification associated with the traffic flow. For example, the traffic flow may be assigned to the primary cell based on the classification indicating that the application is executing at the UE in a foreground state or to the at least one secondary cell based on the classification indicating that the application is executing at the UE in a background state.

Systems and methods for classifying traffic flows to enable intelligent use of spectrum

A base station may receive uplink data identifying uplink performance indicators associated with user equipment connected to the base station, and may receive tuning factors associated with shared channel traffic received by the user equipment and quality of service requirements of the user equipment. The base station may determine a total score associated with utilizing a long duration physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format for uplink control information based on the uplink data and the tuning factors. The base station may determine that the total score satisfies a threshold score and may switch to the long duration PUCCH format for the uplink control information based on the total score satisfying the threshold score. The base station may perform one or more actions based on switching to the long duration PUCCH format for the uplink control information.

Systems and methods for dynamic selection of a physical uplink control channel format

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an component carrier management service is provided. The service may monitor data pertaining to a transmit power of an end device and a component carrier of a carrier aggregation. Based on the monitoring, the service may determine when the end device is at or near a maximum transmit power. The service may perform a mitigation procedure to prevent or minimize the end device shutting off a component carrier in a radio transmitter chain.

Component carrier management service

New Radio (NR)-aware LTE scheduling is provided. An access station for a radio access network includes a first scheduling function. The first scheduling function identifies a User Equipment (UE) device that has a first active wireless connection and a second active wireless connection to the radio access network. The first scheduling function determines that expanded coverage is need for an uplink transmission for the second active wireless connection and obtains uplink scheduling information for the second active wireless connection. The first scheduling function adjusts uplink scheduling for the first active wireless connection such that power sharing is prioritized for uplink time intervals of the second active wireless connection over overlapping uplink time intervals of the first active wireless connection.

A data stream from an internal endpoint of a video conference participant is received at an enterprise media processing node. The internal endpoint is accessible to the enterprise media processing node behind a firewall on an enterprise network. The received data stream is translated and transcoded into a predefined common communication protocol. A data stream in the common communication protocol is received at an external media processing node using a firewall friendly protocol to traverse the firewall from an external endpoint. The external endpoint communicates with the external media processing node outside the enterprise network. A composite data stream of the received data streams from endpoints within the enterprise network and outside the enterprise network is selectively generated, and sent to the internal endpoint.

Provision of video conferencing services using a micro pop to extend media processing into enterprise networks

A system may collect, from a wireless network, first data pertaining to nodes in the wireless network. Each datum of the first data belongs to one of two or more categories/For each of the nodes, for each of the categories, and for each datum belonging to the category, the system may determine if the datum is outside of a first range of values, and if the datum is inside the first range, the system may calculate a first base network performance health (NPH) score that is a function of the nodes, the categories, the data, and time. The system may also apply first deep learning to a first neural network among a plurality of neural networks to update first coefficients for correlating the first base NPH score to a mean opinion score, for each of the categories.

Network anomaly detection and network performance status determination

Embodiments are described for provision of video conferencing with load balancing. In some embodiments, a protocol connector module receives a media processing request from a client application for the video conference endpoint device and a client application identifier, a profile for the client application is retrieved using the client application identifier, at least one load balancing capability is determined for the client application using the identifier, a load balancing technique is selectively performed based on the at least one load balancing capability, and performance of the client application is logged with the load balancing technique in the profile.

Provision of video conferencing with load balancing

A contact center is provided. The contact center includes a processor; and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes computer code executable with the processor. The computer code is configured to place a phone call through a media gateway to a communication device, receive a tone message from the media gateway, the tone message including a call progress event that defines a type of tone that was detected in the audio stream, determine a call treatment as a function of the communication device status, and perform call treatment for the phone call.
