Systems and methods for determining hardware requirements for a wireless network event are disclosed. In embodiments, a method comprises obtaining, by a computing device, social user data over a period of time from a plurality of mobile devices associated with a social event at a location; obtaining, by the computing device, bandwidth usage data for each of the plurality of mobile devices based on the social user data; obtaining, by the computing device, crowd density and traffic pattern data related to the social event; determining, by the computing device, participant movement data for the social event based on the crowd density and traffic pattern data; deriving, by the computing device, a social bandwidth density model based on the bandwidth usage data and the participant movement data; and determining, by the computing device, bandwidth requirements within a geo-spatial boundary associated with the social event from the social bandwidth density model.

The present disclosure provides techniques for addressing switching times of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) child nodes. For example, a parent IAB node may determine a switching time for the child IAB node to switch from transmitting on a backhaul/uplink to a parent node (with transmit power control) to transmitting on an access/downlink to a user equipment (UE) or other child IAB node. The parent IAB node may then configure the IAB child node according to the determined switching time (e.g., by scheduling the IAB child node accordingly or setting one or more timing advance parameters).

Systems and methods for pseudo random beacon signal scheduling and data scheduling to improve network conditions within a wireless network are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system for providing a wireless asymmetric network, comprises a hub having one or more processing units and at least one antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) communications in the wireless asymmetric network. A plurality of sensor nodes each have a wireless device with a transmitter and a receiver to enable bi-directional RF communications with the hub in the wireless asymmetric network. The system determines dynamic beacon frequency control with a variable delay duration for starting at least one superframe of the hub.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes transmitting, to an edge data network via a wireless network, an indication of an adjustment to one or more performance indicators for an application client operating on the UE to receive service from the edge data network based on a UE modified performance profile for the application client and communicating application data traffic with the edge data network via the wireless network in accordance with adjusted performance indicators. The method includes receiving, from a UE via a wireless network, an indication of an adjustment to one or more performance indicators for an application client operating on the UE to receive service from the edge data network based on a UE modified performance profile for the application client and communicating application data traffic with the UE via the wireless network in accordance with adjusted performance indicators.

Provided herein are techniques for AP coordinated P2P communications in a Wi-Fi network. Embodiments describe an apparatus for an AP including processing circuitry to: encode a first trigger frame, to be transmitted to a plurality of STAs associated with the AP, to query a buffer status of each STA; receive one or more response frames from one or more of the plurality of STAs, each having data to be transmitted to a target receiver STA in the plurality of STAs; allocate one or more RUs for each of a group of STAs selected from the one or more STAs, based on the one or more response frames, and using OFDMA; and encode a second trigger frame, to be transmitted to the selected group of STAs and the target receiver STA for each of the group of STAs, to indicate the allocation of RUs.

In an aspect, an answerer receives, from an offeror, a first plurality of quality of service (QoS) parameters for a multimedia session, the first plurality of QoS parameters including first loss and/or latency parameters indicating first desirable maximum end-to-end packet loss and/or latency for the multimedia session, determines that the first desirable maximum end-to-end packet loss is higher than a second desirable maximum end-to-end packet loss, the first desirable maximum end-to-end packet latency is higher than a second desirable maximum end-to-end packet latency, or both, and sends, to the offeror, a second plurality of QoS parameters for the multimedia session, the second plurality of QoS parameters including a second loss parameter indicating the second desirable maximum end-to-end packet loss, a second latency parameter indicating the second desirable maximum end-to-end packet latency, or both.

Disclosed are methods and systems to facilitate management of carriers to help ensure QoS for single-carrier UEs. In particular, a base station may serve one or more first user equipment devices (UEs) on just a first carrier. While doing so, the base station may determine that each of the one or more first UEs being served on just the first carrier is receiving threshold low quality of service from the base station on the first carrier. Responsive to this determining, the base station may (i) select one or more second UEs based on the one or more second UEs being served by the base station on both the first carrier and one or more other carriers and (ii) discontinue serving each selected second UE on the first carrier while continuing to serve each selected second UE on one or more other carriers.

Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating transmission and reception of data according to multiple communication standards over a frequency band. In particular, one or more base stations/mobile electronic devices may determine a first data size of first data to be sent conforming to a first communication standard and a second data size of second data conforming to a second communication standard. A first time period may then be determined for which to send the first data based on the first data size, and a second time period may be determined for which to send the second data based on the second data size. In response to determining that the frequency channel is clear of other transmissions, the first data may be sent according to the first standard in the first time period, and the second data may be sent according to the second standard in the second time period.

A service control method for a machine type communications (MTC) device and a related apparatus, where the method includes receiving, by an access-network network element, a paging request message from a core-network network element, wherein the paging request message carries device type indication information of a paged user equipment (UE), determining a device type of the UE according to the device type indication information of the UE, and paging the UE using a dedicated paging resource allocated to an MTC device when the UE is the MTC device.

Device Assisted Services (DAS) for protecting network capacity is provided. In some embodiments, DAS for protecting network capacity includes monitoring a network service usage activity of the communications device in network communication; classifying the network service usage activity for differential network access control for protecting network capacity; and associating the network service usage activity with a network service usage control policy based on a classification of the network service usage activity to facilitate differential network access control for protecting network capacity.
