Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that enable a telecommunications network to share available bandwidth within a cell of base station node between different air-interface technologies, such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G-New Radio (5G-NR). This disclosure further enables spectrum allocation to service segments of a base station node. A spectrum allocation controller is described that is configured to identify, within a service area of a base station node, available spectrum, and in doing so, allocate available spectrum to non-overlapping service segments.
