A device and a method for managing and controlling an end-to-end network in a wireless communication system are provided. The management device for controlling an end-to-end network in a wireless communication system includes a network slice manager configured to configure network slices for a terminal, a policy manager configured to set a policy applied to the network slices and a software defined network (SDN) device configured to control one or more network entities related to transmission of traffic for the network slices, based on the policy, wherein each of the network slices are configured for a different frequency band.

An orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) base station operative to transmit a sequence of OFDM signals simultaneously using at least two separate twisted pairs, in which each of the OFDM signals is modulated by a plurality of sub-carriers. At least two converters are connected to the OFDM base station using the at least two twisted pairs, respectively, in which each of the converters, and simultaneously with the other converters, is configured to receive each of the OFDM signals from the OFDM base station using the respective twisted pair, up-convert the OFDM signal into a radio-frequency (RF) band, and re-transmit wirelessly the OFDM signal, in conjunction with the RF band, from at least one antenna associated with each converter.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may receive resource status information. The base station may use the resource status information for initiating a handover procedure using resource status information.

Operation of a wireless network access point (AP) to communicate with a first set of one or more wireless client devices using a wireless protocol in which spatial reuse of channels is supported via at least a dynamically configurable basic service set (BSS) identifier of the wireless AP. The BSS identifier is utilized to identify overlapping BSSs (OBSSs). A first set of one or more wireless client devices communicate using a wireless protocol in which spatial reuse of channels is supported via at least a dynamically configurable BSS identifier of the wireless AP. The BSS identifier is utilized to identify OBSSs. Unauthorized network activity is detected based on the BSS identifier and a received BSS identifier associated with the received transmissions. A dynamic adjustment is made to one of the BSS identifiers of the AP or the received BSS identifier in response to detected unauthorized network activity.

All or a portion of a timeslot of a slotted communication system may be dynamically designated for transmitting or for receiving. For example, a timeslot originally designated for receiving information at a wireless node may be temporarily designated for transmitting information from the wireless node. Such a designation may be made to accommodate a temporary asymmetry in traffic flow between wireless nodes or may be made based on other criteria. In some aspects, a resource utilization messaging scheme may be employed to mitigate interference associated with the designation of timeslots for transmitting or receiving.

In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for utilizing protocols to enable two 802.11 devices to exchange their dynamically-changing local channel availability table and form a mutual channel availability table with time, frequency, and transmission rate domains available. This table may be used to make optimum opportunistic use of link resources by adapting packet duration, frequency utilization and transmission rate to channel conditions.

Presented herein are methodologies for managing a citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) network. The methodology includes receiving, at an enterprise controller, measurement information from a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, wherein the first UE and the second UE operate in a citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) network; selecting, at the enterprise controller, an information aggregation level based on a predetermined level of privacy associated with the first UE and the second UE; aggregating, at the enterprise controller, the measurement information from the first UE and the second UE in accordance with the information aggregation level to obtain aggregated measurement information; and sending, by the enterprise controller, the aggregated measurement information to a Spectrum Access System that controls allocation of resources in the CBRS network for the first UE and the second UE.

Devices, systems, and methods for optimizing a mesh network by cloud computing. A cloud network controller may receive from multiple access points (APs) in a mesh network information related to channel quality based on measurements taken by the APs. Based on this information, the cloud network controller may forecast one or more optimal channels based on the information related to channel quality. The cloud network controller my then send to the multiple APs a message including a recommendation to switch to the one or more optimal channels based on the forecasting. The AP may then make a decision to carry out the recommended channel switch.
