A dynamic rate adjustment system receives an indication of a route and one or more network sectors that intersect with the route. The dynamic rate adjustment system determines a time period during which a user device will be located in each network sector and identifies a cost for networking services to be provided to user devices based on the time period. The dynamic rate adjustment system determines a dynamic rate for the user device to use the networking services based on the cost for networking services and causes the user device to transmit user device data based on the dynamic rate when the user device is located within a network sector associated with the dynamic rate.

Systems and methods for dynamic rate identification along a route of a user device

Various arrangements for managing cellular network slicing are detailed. A cellular network management system may obtain performance data from cellular network components of a cellular network over time. The cellular network management system may analyze the performance data from the plurality of cellular network components to create a cellular network model indicative of performance of discrete portions of the cellular network over time. A service request may be received from an external entity that defines quality of service (QoS) parameters. A cellular network access conditions package may be created that defines conditions under which the external entity is eligible to utilize the cellular network. Cellular network components may then be configured to permit access to the cellular network by user equipment (UE) of the external entity and data services may be provided to the UE.

Cellular network capacity slicing systems and methods

Disclosed is a method performed by a first Access Point (AP) device of a private network that communicates with a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication radio access network (RAN). The method includes transmitting one or more first messages using a first licensed frequency band; receiving one or more second messages using the first licensed frequency band; receiving data for a user equipment device; determining a second AP device of the private network to which the data for the user equipment device is to be transmitted based on the one or more second messages; and transmitting the data for the user equipment device to the second AP device of the private network using a second licensed frequency band or an unlicensed frequency band.

Various base station enclosures and systems are detailed herein. Such systems can include, a radio unit (RU) and a plurality of cellular antennas. A base station cellular enclosure is present that reduces wind drag. The enclosure can include an airfoil enclosure housing that defines a cavity for housing the plurality of antennas and is at least partially covered in dimples to reduce wind drag.

Cellular antenna enclosures

Various arrangements for allocating spectrum between a cellular network provider and a secondary operator are presented. A cellular network component of the secondary operator may determine that spectrum at a secondary operator radio unit (RU) is not currently needed. The cellular network component of the secondary operator may cause the spectrum to be released for use by a cellular network operator such that the secondary operator RU is not permitted to use the released spectrum. A cellular network operator RU may then communicate with a first set of user equipment (UE) using the released spectrum. The secondary operator RU and cellular network operator RU may be located at a same location.

Dynamic cellular network spectrum sharing

Embodiments provide tower-mountable base station antenna enclosure systems to reduce effective wind loads of housed antenna components. The enclosure systems can include wind deflection radomes sized to house antenna components and mountable to tower structures by rotatable couplings. For example, embodiments can have a rotational axis that is substantially transverse to primary wind directions, and the wind deflection structures can be mounted in a manner that permits substantially free rotation around the axis. Such enclosure systems can reduce the wind load of the antenna as deployed on a tower, such that a smaller marginal structural impact can be attributed to deployed antenna components, and the antenna components can be considered as smaller structural loads on the tower.

Multi-axis wind deflection radome

Various arrangements for operating a cellular network with advanced secondary operator privacy are presented herein. A first set of user equipment may communicate using a first radio unit and a first radio spectrum with a cellular network. A second set of user equipment may communicate with the cellular network using a second radio unit and a second radio spectrum. The second radio unit may be operated by a secondary operator distinct from the cellular network operator. The second radio unit may encrypt the second communications such that the cellular network cannot decrypt the second communications. The cellular network, can route the encrypted second communications of the second cellular network slice from the second radio unit to a data center operated by the secondary operator separate and distinct from the cellular network.

Secondary operator integration with a cellular network

Various base station cellular enclosures are detailed herein. An airfoil enclosure housing may be present that defines a cavity for housing a base station cellular antenna. The housing may have a leading edge and a vent that permits air from external the airfoil enclosure housing to enter the cavity of the airfoil enclosure housing. The enclosure may further include a rotatable coupling that attaches the airfoil enclosure housing to a support structure. The rotatable coupling can allow the airfoil enclosure housing to rotate based on wind such that the leading edge faces into the wind.
