A master node (MN) communicating with a UE using resources of a first band of unlicensed spectrum sends an addition request to a selected secondary node, to request resources for supporting the UE in a second band of unlicensed spectrum. The addition request includes timing information including one or more of: i) information indicating a start time for the MN time division duplexing (TDD) timing structure with respect to the UE, or ii) information indicating a reference clock being used by the MN. The secondary node uses the received timing information from the MN to perform timing alignment at the secondary node. The adjusted timing alignment of the secondary node allows the UE to achieve slot-boundary and/or symbol boundary alignment with regard to MN communications using the first unlicensed spectrum and SN communications using the second unlicensed spectrum. Due to the achieved synchronization, an in-device coexistence (IDC) problem is avoided.

When a first (e.g., CBRS) network receives instructions to modify its operations with a dual-SIM, dual-subscription (DSDS) device, e.g., due to the local incumbent activity, instead of modifying CBRS operations for the DSDS device, the DSDS device is proactively handed off to a second (e.g., non-CBRS) network, thereby avoiding a reduction of quality of service to the DSDS device. If and when the local incumbent activity ceases, the original CBRS operations can be automatically restored by handing off from the non-CBRS network back to the CBRS network. In some implementations, these functions are orchestrated by a DSDS Mobile Transfer Entity of the CBRS network.

A communication management system receives a first communication from a first communication device. Based on an identity of the first communication device, the communication management system selects a first gateway network address amongst multiple gateway network addresses in which to forward the first communication from the router. Via the first gateway network address, the communication management system transmits the first communication from the router for delivery of the first communication to a destination as specified by the first communication. Implementation of the multiple gateway network addresses is useful because it provides different options for communicating data outbound from the router. For example, the communication device connected to a respective local area network (via layer 2 communications) is able to communicate with other devices in the respective local area network while a specific gateway network address supports (via layer 3 coordination) communications over a respective tunnel outbound from the router.

In response to receiving instructions from a Spectrum Access System (SAS) to modify (e.g., reduce and/or cease) network transmissions in one or more Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) sub-bands following the SAS's detection of incumbent activity, the network's Operation Support System (OSS) predicts or measures received signal strength (RSS) levels based on the SAS's original instructions, estimates RSS levels based on modified versions of the SAS's instructions that prioritize higher-NPV (net present value) CBRS base stations (CBSDs) over lower-NPV CBSDs, selects a modified version whose RSS levels are approximately the same as or less than the RSS levels of the SAS's original instructions, and transmits to the SAS requests for the selected modified version. In this way, the OSS can achieves more-efficient allocation of the CBRS spectrum and therefore more-desirable network communications without interfering with the incumbent's communications.

A single piece of content, e.g., a creative, is delivered to multiple devices through a QAM or multicast communications technique, with each receiving device corresponding to an impression opportunity in some cases. Bidders are provided the opportunity to bid on an individual single impression opportunity basis even when the impression corresponds to a multicast or QAM content delivery method and thus multiple impressions. Because impression opportunity offers and bids are for single impressions the bidder systems need not deal with the technical complexities of multipliers when receiving, considering and placing bids. DSPs are normally used to place bids on single Internet delivered impressions can bid on impression opportunities corresponding to QAM or multicast delivered program content with the system being used to determine the winner of bids handling the complexity of tracking of multiple individual bid wins and eventually determining the winner of an N opportunity deal.

In various embodiments a WiFi AP can request or require devices, e.g., STAs to report IDC information pertinent to the individual device. This is done by sending one or more trigger frames, e.g., as part of a multicast or unicast operation. Alternatively, devices can voluntarily report IDC information. The AP, e.g., WiFi AP, takes the IDC information it receives, e.g., from multiple devices, e.g., STAs, into account when scheduling UL resources to be used by the wireless devices. By taking into consideration the IDC information provided by STAs, IDC conflicts can be avoid even though a WiFi AP is scheduling resources for WiFi communication in devices which are also using resources for another communications standard, e.g,, LTE, over which the AP does not have control.

Methods and apparatus for managing frequency reassignment within wireless access nodes so as to minimize data session disruption. In one embodiment, the frequency reassignments occur within a quasi-licensed system utilizing 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum, and a reassignment of wireless spectrum that mitigates disruption or loss of continuity to existing data sessions of users of devices associated with a CBSD/xNB is provided via notification of the associated devices (e.g., Category B Consumer Premises Equipment or CPE, such as an FWA) of the reassignment by the CBSD/xNB. In one variant, the associated devices are instructed by the CBSD/xNB to invoke a “wait and re-establish” protocol that obviates a full frequency band rescan in favor of a designated target frequency provided to the CBSD/xNB by the cognizant SAS or DP.

A SMS message is conditionally additionally directed toward an STB, located at the customer premises, to which the target phone number of the SMS message corresponds, and is displayed on a device, e.g., a TV, coupled to the STB, in addition to being directed to the phone corresponding to the target phone number. A new STB SMS server: i) determines whether an incoming SIP message including a SMS message is to be sent toward a STB for SMS display on a display device coupled to the STB, or is to be dropped, e.g., based on a SMS_DISPLAY_STB flag value in a subscriber profile corresponding to the target phone number, ii) determines, for a SIP message including a SMS message, a particular video endpoint, and iii) sends a SIP message including a SMS message to a determined video endpoint for SMS message delivery to a STB interfacing with the video endpoint.

A communication management resource receives input indicating a quality of a wireless communication link between a first wireless station and a second wireless station. Based on detected degradation of the quality of the wireless communication link as indicated by the input, the communication management resource dynamically implements an appropriate repetition mode of repeatedly transmitting data from the first wireless station to the second wireless station. The second wireless station can be configured to receive a repetition settings notification from the first wireless station or other suitable entity. The repetition settings notification specifies operation of the first wireless station in a repetition mode in which the first wireless station is configured to repeatedly transmit data from the first wireless station over a wireless communication link to the second wireless station. Operation in the repetition mode enables the first wireless station to continue communications with the second wireless station.

A computing system fits a long-term utilization line through aggregate utilization values that correspond to ones of a plurality of intervals over a time period. The computing system determines, for each respective interval of/ordinal intervals in each second time period within the time period, a mean residual value based on a difference between a utilization value identified on the long-term utilization line at the respective interval and an actual aggregate utilization value at a same ordinal interval in each second time period. An aggregate probability value, based in part on a probability that a cable modem of a plurality of cable modems can obtain at one or more intervals a maximum bandwidth allocated to the cable modem, is determined, and in response to determining that the aggregate probability value is a non-preferred value, an alert, indicating that the service group is overutilized, is sent.

Methods and apparatus for determining losses due to obstructions in a wireless communications system are described. Pairs of measurements points, one of each side of an obstruction are selected, and wireless device reported received signal energy measurements corresponding to the pair of selected locations are used to determine a path loss through the obstruction. In some embodiments, the pair of measurements points are selected based on one or more of: wireless device orientation at the time of measurement, application in use at the time of measurement, time between measurements, or location between measurements. In one example, a first selected location in the pair corresponds to an outdoor location with a unobstructed line of sight view to the base station, while the second selected location corresponds to an indoor location.
