A cloud-based system for maintaining a distributed cloud spectrum access system (SAS) is disclosed. The system may include one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform the a method including: syncing one or more edge databases at a frontend-SAS with corresponding cloud databases at a backend-SAS; monitoring a connection between the frontend-SAS and the backend-SAS; determining the connection between the frontend-SAS and the backend-SAS has been severed; continuing to operate within an interference headroom; attempting one or more robustness mechanisms to ensure impact to the frontend-SAS is minimized and to reestablish the connection between the frontend-SAS and the backend-SAS; and upon determining the connection is reestablished, reconciling the one or more edge databases at the frontend-SAS with the corresponding cloud databases at the backend-SAS.

Systems and methods for maintaining a distributed cloud spectrum access system

The disclosed embodiments provide a method for interconnecting a plurality of networks, including a first network, with a second network via an interworking gateway (IWG). The method may comprise receiving a request from the first network for a user in the first network to access at least one service or application available in the second network, determining at least one criteria associated with the second network to enforce for the user in the first network, and enforcing the at least one criteria for communications associated with the user between the first and second networks. The IWG may be a cloud-based service that is configured to perform the aforementioned steps. The IWG may also be configured to be dynamically scalable to support multiple networks in the plurality of networks requesting interconnection with the second network.

Cloud-based interworking gateway service

Systems and methods for providing mobile services are disclosed. In one implementation, an access point (AP) is provided, which may include a set of one or more base-station functions for use by a user equipment (UE) connected to the AP over a wireless communication interface. The one or more base-station functions may be configured to receive information from the UE. The AP may further include a set of one or more core-network functions configured to receive the information from the set of one or more base-station functions and a distributed portion of a service. The distributed portion of the service may be configured to receive the information from the one or more core-network functions and communicate the information to a corresponding cloud portion of the service running on a cloud platform. The service may be provided by a combination of the distributed portion and the cloud portion of the service. The distributed portion of the service may be further configured to receive a response from the cloud portion of the service based on processing performed by the cloud portion on the cloud platform.

Cloud based access solution for enterprise deployment

Cloud-based systems and methods are provided for assigning shared spectrum resources to secondary users. The methods may comprise receiving, by a central block entity, a request for channel availability from a secondary user to access a shared spectrum in a wireless network, authenticating the secondary user, validating the secondary user, routing the request for channel availability to a managing block entity, receiving available frequency information from the managing block entity, assigning a frequency and an effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) to the secondary user based on the available frequency information from the managing block entity, and transmitting, to the secondary user, a channel availability response based on the assigned EIRP. The managing block entity may be configured to determine available frequency information based on one or more parameters associated with the secondary user. The channel availability response may comprise a frequency on which the secondary user can transmit.

Systems and methods for scalable, reliable, and distributed spectrum access system processing

A method and system is provided for enabling spectrum sensing capability in a network having at least one primary user and a plurality of secondary users configured to communicate using a shared spectrum. The methods and systems include receiving values from sensors corresponding to received signal strength from a primary user in one or more frequencies of the shared spectrum. The values are used to interpolate at least one additional value between the sensors. A detection threshold is determined for sensing a signal transmitted from the primary user based on an acceptable amount of interference. The primary user is then determined to be transmitting in the one or more frequencies of the shared spectrum if any of the values received from the plurality of sensors or the at least one additional value interpolated along the path exceeds the detection threshold.

Method and system for providing spectrum sensing capability in a shared network

A system and method is provided for a predictive connectivity layer. In the disclosed embodiments, resources, such as bandwidth, processing, and memory, at a network node are dynamically allocated based on one or more predicted user behaviors. A predicted user behavior may be determined based on one or more previous actions of a user or a group of users at the network node. For example, if a user accesses the network node to download a particular web site at the same time every morning, the predictive technique may determine that the user will attempt to download the same web site the next morning, and therefore cache a copy of the web site before the user's next attempt to access the network through the network node. Similarly, the network node may predict an amount of bandwidth or other resources to allocate based on previous behavior of one or more users.

Systems and methods for providing mobile services are disclosed. In one implementation, an access point (AP) is provided, which may include a set of one or more base-station functions for use by a user equipment (UE) connected to the AR over a wireless communication interface. The one or more base-station functions may be configured to receive information from the UE. The AP may further include a set of one or more core-network functions configured to receive the information from the set of one or more base-station functions and a distributed portion of a service. The distributed portion of the service may be configured to receive the information from the one or more core-network functions and communicate the information to a corresponding cloud portion of the service running on a cloud platform. The service may be provided by a combination of the distributed portion and the cloud portion of the service. The distributed portion of the service may be further configured to receive a response from the cloud portion of the service based on processing performed by the cloud portion on the cloud platform.
