Wireless transmission regulation for a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is described. In an example, a sensor associated with a device, which is configured to operate in the frequency band, can scan at least a portion of the frequency band to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band. The device can determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device using the frequency band. The other device can be a priority user having priority access over the device. Based at least in part on determining the presence of the other device, the device can adjust a device radio frequency (RF) transmission power for transmitting communication(s) within the frequency band.

Techniques for dynamically assigning frequency resources in a wireless network are discussed herein. For example, a network device can implement a self-organizing network to allocate frequency resources to a base station based on an availability of such frequency resources, as well as data indicating one or more conditions at a base station. The network device can receive information associated with the base station, such as load information, coverage information, capability information, interference information, and the like. In some examples, the network device can use a machine learning algorithm to select frequency resources from licensed bands, a Citizens Broadband Radio Service band, or unlicensed bands. Frequency resource allocation information can be used to configure the base station to facilitate wireless communications using such frequency resources. As the conditions at a base station change over time (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, etc.), frequency resources can be allocated and deallocated at the base station.

Sensor and self-learning based dynamic frequency assignment for wireless networks

A NarrowBand Internet of Things (NB-IoT) device can find a connection to an NB-IoT cell by searching for an available NB-IoT carrier. An available NB-IoT carrier can be found by scanning through frequencies associated with a plurality of channel numbers on a predefined NB-IoT channel list, the plurality of channel numbers being associated with a plurality of NB-IoT carriers offered by one or more base stations. The NB-IoT carriers are frequency bands within a larger spectrum band associated with a telecommunications provider. The NB-IoT device can camp on a particular NB-IoT carrier when the particular NB-IoT carrier has an available physical resource block (PRB).

A wireless communication network includes a plurality of cells, where at least one of the cells periodically transmits content to a plurality of user devices in a predetermined geographic area over one or more dedicated downlink channels as a multimedia broadcast multicast service. The at least one cell receive messages from one or more of the plurality of user devices over one or more dedicated uplink channels, where the messages relate to feedback in the form of messages and/or content pertaining to the content received by the one or more of the plurality of user devices.

Wireless transmission regulation for a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is described. In an example, a sensor associated with a device, which is configured to operate in the frequency band, can scan at least a portion of the frequency band to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band. The device can determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device utilizing the frequency band. The other device can be a priority user having priority access over the device. The device can transmit the sensor data to a base station that is configured to analyze the sensor data and determine how to transmit one or more communications within the frequency band, based at least in part on the sensor data and subscriber information associated with subscriber(s) of a telecommunications service.

Systems and processes may be implemented to evaluate current network conditions with respect to a telecommunication device and to dynamically toggle the device between a Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) communication mode and a Carrier Aggregation (CA) communication mode. The device may use either the MIMO mode or the CA mode to exchange data with a network operator while remaining locked onto a primary base station. Thus, rather than being statically assigned based on a fixed priority to use a particular communication mode for data exchanges with the primary base station, for example assigning all MIMO 4&#xd7;4 capable devices to use MIMO 4&#xd7;4 throughout its time within a primary cell, a device may be dynamically assigned and re-assigned to use a plurality of different communication modes at different times based on which mode will achieve optimal performance.

Dynamic selection of data exchange mode for telecommunication devices

The systems, devices, and methods discussed herein are directed to a network for delivering to portable communication devices, or user equipment (UEs) subscribed to the network, an update for an install service, such as software and firmware, via a hybrid transport mechanism. The hybrid transport mechanism comprises initially broadcasting the update to multiple UEs simultaneously, then re-broadcasting, multicasting, multiple unicasting, and/or transmitting via a wireless local area network (WLAN), the update to a group of UEs that missed the initial broadcast and/or needing file repairs.
