Methods and Systems For Monitoring Upstream Communication Channels in a Cable Service Network
Various embodiments include methods and devices that enable cable modems or network elements to monitor upstream channels for communications between cable modems and the Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) and prompt the CMTS to impair an upstream channel with an error rate exceeding a threshold. In some embodiments, cable modems or a network element may periodically request Forward Error Correction (FEC) data from the CMTS and identify whether an upstream channel should be impaired based on predefined error rate thresholds. If an upstream channel is found to have error rates exceeding an acceptable error rate threshold, the cable modem or network element may signal the CMTS to impair that channel. Additionally, the cable modem or network element may continue to monitor impaired upstream channels and signal the CMTS to recover channels that exhibit error rates less than corresponding thresholds.

BAND SELECTION FOR MULTI-LINK SINGLE-RADIO USER EQUIPMENT BASED ON LINK USAGE CAPACITIES
For user equipment (UE) that operates in a multi-link, single-radio (MLSR) mode, an access point (AP) of a (e.g., WiFi) local area network calculates link usage capacities (LUCs) for the different associated bands and performs comparisons based on those LUCs to the client traffic (CT) to select the band(s) to be used to transmit that CT during the next communication session between the UE and the AP. For example, if at least one LUC is greater than CT, then the AP selects the band with the greatest LUC. Otherwise, if two times the LUCs are greater than CT for at least two bands, then the AP distributes CT to the bands proportionately and sequentially. Otherwise, the AP uses conventional spraying to select the band. This band-selection technique provides improved throughput compared to using only conventional spraying for band selection.

Methods and Apparatus for PRACH Transmission in non-SBFD and SBFD Symbols and/or Slots
Methods and apparatus for supporting efficient PRACH signaling in a communications system supporting Sub-band Full Duplex (SBFD) are described. A timing-frequency structure is implemented by a base station, which includes both non-SBFD slots and SBFD slots. The UE selects ROs corresponding to SBFD or non-SBFD slot(s) and performs an initial access attempt (with or without PRACH repetitions). In the case of failure of the initial access attempt, the UE performs an additional access attempt. The selection of RO(s) for the additional access attempt may be, and sometimes is, a function of the RO type (non-SBFD slot RO or SBFD slot RO) used in the initial access attempt. In some embodiments to provide diversity between attempts, the UE will select, for the additional access attempt, an RO corresponding to a different type of slot than used for the failed initial access attempt. However, this is not the case in all embodiments.

Methods and Apparatus for Providing an Alternative Communications Path Between a First Base Station and a Spectrum Access System (SAS) Via a Second Base Station
An alternative channel for communicating information relating to renewal of a spectrum grant from SAS to a first base station is implemented. This alternative channel provides a communications path to communicate grant status from SAS to first base station, while the first base station's primary communication channel with SAS, which typically involves a domain proxy remains interrupted. The alternative channel includes a second base station and a UE. A selected UE sends a grant renewal request message to SAS for the first base station and receives a response message indicating grant status from the SAS. The grant status is forwarded to the first base station, and if the grant is renewed, the first base station renews the grant transmit expiration time and continues to transmit. This approach reduces potential service outages at the first base station due to lack of awareness of the actual status of the SAS grant.

In certain embodiments, an access point (AP) of a multi-channel (e.g., WiFi) communication network switches from operating at a current channel to operating at a new channel. The AP determines the current channel interference of the current channel and scans other channels to determine target channel utilizations of those other channels. The AP selects one of the other channels to be a new channel for the AP based on (i) the current channel interference, (ii) the target channel utilizations, and (iii) channel powers for the current channel and the other channels. By employing channel power, which typically varies with channel frequency, the AP avoids switching to a new channel at which the AP has diminished or no communication capability with one or more stations that are located at the edge of the AP's cell for the current channel.

A spectrum controller controlling use of a spectrum, e.g., the CBRS spectrum, shared by multiple network operators. The spectrum controller sequentially instructs each network operator to implement a silent period during which the network operator (i) ceases transmitting in at least part of the spectrum, and optionally (ii) generates signal-strength measurements of signals from other network operators. The spectrum controller receives the signal-strength measurements from the multiple network operators, generates interference patterns between the multiple network operators, and uses those interference patterns to allocate the spectrum to the multiple network operators, including during times of spectrum usage by incumbents. The interference patterns may be more accurate than conventionally generated interference patterns resulting in more-efficient usage of the shared spectrum by the network operators.
