Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for establishing single-layer connections between user equipment (UEs) and a telecommunications network based on the UEs' device types. UEs are classified as either stationary devices or mobile devices based on device information, such as subscriber identity module (SIM) profiles. When a multi-layer connection should not be maintained with a UE, if the UE is classified as a stationary device, the telecommunications network establishes a spatial multiplexing single layer (SMSL) connection with the UE. If the UE is classified as a mobile device, the telecommunications network establishes a single input, single output (SISO) connection with the UE.
