Abstract
Predictive bearer assignment for wireless networks is described herein. A wireless network can include a first base station and a second base station to provide dual connectivity to user equipments (UEs) operating in an environment. A bearer assignment component can receive network information, such as signal strength(s) and/or locations of the UEs in the environment, from UEs connected the first or second base stations. The bearer assignment component can determine, based on the network information, whether to assign a bearer to a UE attempting to connect to the first or second base station, and if so, a type of a bearer to assign to the UE. If similarly situated UEs experience a positive or negative outcome involving a bearer, the bearer assignment component can assign bearers to optimize communications between other UEs and the first or second base stations.
