The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for searching for media content across multiple sources. A multi-source content system can connect various media content sources (e.g., internet streaming platforms, local or cloud storage, OTA networks, cable network, satellite network, public library databases, etc.) to a gateway. When a user searches for media content, the gateway can detect the search and perform a query across the various media content sources to locate the media content. The multi-source content system can prioritize the search results according to free content, local storage devices, gateway content services or bandwidth management metrics, and present the search results to the user. The multi-source content system can aggregate multiple media content sources and devices connected to a gateway to retrieve media content.

Methods and systems for accessing media content from multiple sources

A method of operating a private network includes obtaining channel requirement information indicating a bandwidth of a channel, obtaining available channel information indicating Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) frequency bands and non-CBRS frequency bands available to be allocated to the channel, selecting one or more of the CBRS frequency bands and one or more of first non-CBRS frequency bands based on the channel requirement information, generating channel aggregation information indicating the selected CBRS and non-CBRS frequency bands, generating transmission power level information for the selected CBRS and non-CBRS frequency bands, transmitting the channel aggregation information and the transmission power level information, receiving the first channel aggregation information and the first transmission power level information at an access point device, and transmitting data in the channel using the selected CBRS and non-CBRS frequency bands from the access point device based on the first transmission power level information.

Private network management including licensed and unlicensed radio unit channel aggregation orchestration

A system includes an integrator node (IN), external to a building. A gateway, within the building, is coupled to the integrator node by a first link. A gateway outdoor unit access point (GOUAP) is coupled to the IN by a second link. The GOUAP is coupled to a user device by a third link. The gateway is coupled to a Cloud. The GOUAP provides access to the Cloud, by the user device, when the user device is outside the building. The first link and/or the second link utilizes MOCA. The third link utilizes Wi-Fi. An Internal Network Extender (INE) is coupled to the gateway by a fifth link and located within the building. While the user device is external to the building, the user device utilizes the third link, the second link, and the first link to communicatively couple with the gateway.

Devices, systems and methods are described for facilitating a cell phone content watch party. A system includes a server, a host user device and a client user device—both coupled to the server, a content capture device (CCD) coupled to the host user device, and a content provider coupled to the host user device and the client user device. The content provider provides primary content segments. The CCD provides cell phone content which the host user device provides the cell phone content to the server. The server synchronizes a providing of the cell phone content with a presentation of the primary content segments by the client user device such that the presentations of the cell phone content and the primary content segments occur substantially simultaneously on the host user device and the client user device.
