Abstract:
The present disclosure describes various techniques to provide network access to a user equipment by using network infrastructure and/or wireless spectrum from an asset operator. In an aspect, a network device associated with the asset operator may receive a request for wireless wide area network (WWAN) access for a UE. The network device may identify the UE as a subscriber of an operator based at least in part on the request, where the operator is different from the asset operator, and where the network device is configured to provide WWAN access to subscribers of the operator via a core network associated with the operator based at least in part on a services agreement between the operator and the asset operator. The network device may then provide WWAN access to the UE in response to identifying that the UE is a subscriber of the operator.
Abstract:
A small cell may include a base station that may be co-located with an edge computing device. The edge computing device may be integrated within a small cell base station or be a physically separate module communicatively coupled to and in close proximity with the small cell base station that provides edge computing resources at the small cell. The edge computing device may communicate with input/output devices that are in hyper proximity to the small cell base station. The input/output devices may be capable of sensing aspects of the environment (e.g., via microphones, light sensors, cameras, thermometers, etc.) and providing a stimulus to an individual within hyper proximity to the input-output devices. The stimulus may be in response to or based on the environmental information gathered by the input-output devices.

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for discontinuous transmission (DTX) in systems that utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers. Tools and techniques are provided that may help ensure signaling alignment, such as with respect to DTX cycles, in systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers. Such methods may include identifying at least a DTX cycle for a first cell or a DTX cycle for a second cell, wherein at least the first cell or the second cell utilizes at least one of the one or more flexible bandwidth carriers; and adjusting one or more DTX parameters for at least the first cell or the second cell to align the DTX cycle for the second cell with the DTX cycle for the first cell such that the DTX cycle for the second cell at least partially overlaps the DTX cycle for the first cell.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may support paging over a flexible bandwidth carrier. For example, a reduced paging capacity with respect to a target paging capacity for the flexible bandwidth carrier may be identified. The reduced paging capacity for the flexible bandwidth carrier may be mitigated by various techniques. One technique may include increasing a number of paging indicators sent per frame over the flexible bandwidth carrier. Other techniques may include reducing a Spreading Factor (SF) for a physical channel or a Secondary Common Control Physical Channel (SCCPCH) carrying the paging indicators over the flexible bandwidth carrier. Further techniques may include utilizing a plurality of paging channels, which may include utilizing a plurality of Paging Indicator Channels (PICHs) or a plurality of SCCPCHs. Other techniques may include reducing a paging area for at least the flexible bandwidth carrier and a normal bandwidth carrier.
