Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to a technique for controlling channel usage in a wireless network in a multi-band wireless networking system. In a wireless network with multiple wireless networking devices and one or more client devices, communications between the wireless networking devices occurs via a backhaul channel, and communication between the client(s) and the wireless networking devices occurs via a fronthaul channel. Based on interference characteristics of the wireless channels, a device determines a channel usage plan, and communicates the plan via the backhaul channel to the wireless networking devices of the wireless network.

A communication device for communicating with a plurality of terminals using a frequency hopping sequence, the communication device being configured to determine that one of the plurality of terminals is subject to interference on a frequency in the frequency hopping sequence and to, in response to that determination, schedule communication with that terminal to avoid that frequency.

Disclosed is an electronic device including a first communication circuit configured to support a first communication scheme, a second communication circuit configured to support a second communication scheme and at least one processor connected to the first communication circuit and the second communication circuit, wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, enable the processor to enable first communication of the first communication scheme, control the first communication circuit to perform the first communication with an external device, enable second communication of the second communication scheme, based on a channel map of the first communication when first information related to a network state of the first communication satisfies a first predetermined condition, acquire second information related to the second communication, and modify the channel map by blocking one of a plurality of channels in the channel map when the second information satisfies a second predetermined condition.

Downlink transmissions can be generated to schedule one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices for communication on unlicensed channels via frequency hopping operations/procedures. An evolved NodeB (eNB) or a next generation NodeB (gNB) can perform a listen before talk (LBT) on the unlicensed channels that are scheduled for transmission by at least one of: one or more IoT devices or one or more user equipments (UEs). A preamble or a common physical downlink control channel (CPDCCH) can be transmitted to reserve the unlicensed channels for the IoT devices/UEs. The preamble or the PDCCH can include a duration of the duration to provide notice to other eNBs/gNBs or trigger the IoT devices of a successful LBT corresponding to the unlicensed channels.

Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed spectrum access within a prescribed area or venue, including to users or subscribers of one or more Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum allocated by a Federal or commercial SAS (Spectrum Access System) to a managed content delivery network that includes one or more wireless access nodes (e.g., CBSDs) in data communication with a controller, and the core(s) of the MNO network(s). In one variant, the controller dynamically allocates (i) spectrum within the area or venue within CBRS bands, and (ii) MNO “roaming” users or subscribers to CBRS bands (e.g., via extant LTE-TD technology). In one particular implementation, the managed network comprises a Multiple Systems Operator (MSO) network such as a cable or satellite network, and the MSO and MNO coordinate to implement user-specific and/or data-specific policies for the roaming MNO subscribers.

Provided is a machine-implemented method to send data from an electronic device, comprising positioning transmission of a packet in a channel slot preferred zone of a channel slot instance according to a statistical profile of at least one component of message flow in a network over which the packet is to be transmitted. The method may determine a statistical profile of components of the message flow and select at least one statistical profile as a basis for composing the channel slot preferred zone. The components of the message flow may comprise a sender electronic device, a network, a packet for transmission, a recurring channel slot and a receiver electronic device.

Disclosed is a way to expand the range of Internet of Things devices in a home, office, or structure to the range of a local WiFi network. This is accomplished by generating a network bridge for the devices using machine-to-machine protocols to communicate using the WiFi network backhaul channel. Transmissions in machine-to-machine protocol are tunneled through WiFi communications and extracted by the closest access point. Access points include radios for both WiFi and machine-to-machine protocols.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to frequency hopping in uplink transmission. A UE may be configured to transmit a first subset of data on a first frequency band to a BS over a first set of symbols. The UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) during an LBT gap comprising a second set of symbols between the first set of symbols and a third set of symbols. The UE may use the LBT in the LBT gap to determine availability of a second frequency sub-band for a second subset of data that is a repetition of the first subset of data. The UE may be configured to transmit the second subset of data on the second frequency band to the BS over a third set of symbols if the LBT passes. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure enable a UE to perform frequency hopping with repetitions across unlicensed frequency sub-bands.
