Abstract

Harmonization of wireless communication service delivery is facilitated. One method comprises receiving, by an anchor node, from a mobile device communicatively coupled to a network, first information indicative of a request for service for the mobile device, wherein the network comprises a first base station (BS) device configured to provide downlink communication between the first BS device and the mobile device, and another BS device configured for uplink communication between the mobile device and the other BS device. The first BS device can be a millimeter wave (mmW) BS device in some embodiments. The method also comprises generating information indicative of a transmission parameter for a type of access to the network device. The transmission parameter can be generated based on various criteria including, but not limited to, whether there is line-of-sight between the first device and the mobile device, the requested service and/or the availability of network resources.
