A MSO subscriber UE obtains wireless access via a partner MNO, with which the MSO has an agreement allowing use of the MNO's RANs and further allowing and supporting MSO core network to MNO core network interworking connections. An MSO subscriber UE, which obtains access via the partner MNO RAN, uses both the MNO core and the MSO core for the communications. The use of both the MNO core and the MSO core allows the MNO core to fine tune RAN operation and allows the MSO core to maintain overall control of AAA operations and control service to its UEs. The UE initiates registration via the RAN and its MNO core; however, a MSO core node entity (CNE) is selected and signaling is rerouted to the selected MSO CNE, with the RAN and the MNO acting then as proxies, and the MSO core controlling service with regard to the UE.

Methods and/or apparatus for reducing or avoiding (IDC) in-device coexistence problems in devices which support multiple communications protocols, e.g., WiFi and LTE, are described. 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.

In wireless communications, an uplink imbalance can exist for a wireless device (e.g., a cell phone), where the uplink signal strength is insufficient for reliable uplink transmissions from the wireless device to the serving node (e.g., 4G/5G base station or Wi-Fi access point) even though the downlink signal strength is sufficient for reliable downlink transmissions from the serving node to the wireless device. In one implementation, the wireless device detects an uplink imbalance based on missing downlink ACK messages from the serving node in response to its periodic uplink measurement reports to the serving node. In another implementation, the network (e.g., the serving node) detects an uplink imbalance based on missing uplink measurement reports from the wireless device. In either case, the detection of an uplink imbalance triggers initiation of handover processing to a neighbor node having sufficient signal strength.

Apparatus and methods for optimizing bandwidth utilization and services in a data network infrastructure. In one embodiment, the data network is a managed Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) cable network, and the network infrastructure is configured to enable dynamic allocate of frequency bands to individual consumer premises device (e.g., DOCSIS-compliant cable modems). In one variant, the improved network infrastructure enables creation of virtual Service Groups (vSGs), and allocation of individual ones of the CM to such vSGs, to some degree irrespective of topological or “hardwired” location within the network. The allocations can be dynamic, and based on factors such as load balancing, evacuation of portions of the physical network topology (such as to support infrastructure upgrades or replacement), or for yet other reasons such as relating to subscriber tier or service level agreement (SLA).

Data packet congestion marking is supported in devices which may form part of a communications path. The devices which can perform marking can, and in some embodiments do, include non-gNB devices and non-anchor point UPFs, e.g., devices other than gNBs and PSA UPFs such as intermediate UPFs, N3IWFs, TNGFs, and W-AGFs, in addition to gNBs and anchor UPFs. Intermediate UPFs corresponding to a communications session will set the congestion indicator value in a data packet's IP header, of a data packet passing through the UPF, to indicate congestion, if it is not already set to indicate congestion when congestion is detected at the intermediate UPF. A session management function in some embodiments controls which devices perform congestion marking and enables/disables congestion marking, e.g., on a per communications session basis while the session is ongoing and/or at various times during a session establishment or device registration process.

Methods and apparatus for automatically identifying overshooting cells and automatically changing PCIs in cases of actual or possible PCI confusion are described. A cell with a poor KPI, e.g., indicative of failed attachment attempts, is identified. PCI confusion is considered as a possible cause of the poor KPI. A cell which uses the same PCI as the cell with the poor KPI is identified and the coverage areas of the cell with the poor KPI and the other cell using the same PCI is determined. Operating UEs in trace mode combined with deactivation of a cell while the other cell using the same PCI remains active is sometimes used to map cell coverage areas. If the coverage areas of two cells using the same PCI are determined to overlap, a different PCI is assigned to one of the two cells using the same PCI to thereby eliminate possible PCI confusion.

Methods and apparatus for access node selection, and optimization of antenna direction and performance, within a power-limited system. In one embodiment, the system utilizes “quasi-licensed” CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) wireless spectrum in conjunction with a controller that dynamically adjusts antenna direction for receiving/transmitting information at an installed fixed wireless apparatus (FWA) at user or subscriber premises. In one variant, the FWA receives data on candidate access nodes (CBSDs), and includes controller logic that compares received power levels for candidate access nodes with the power levels estimated from path loss models, and optimizes antenna azimuth to maximize the antenna gain towards the selected access nodes. As such, service calls to optimize antenna performance after initial installation are not required, and network operating expenses are thereby reduced. Dynamic node reselection and optimization may also be used in instances of CBSD/spectrum withdrawal, changes in physical environment, and other applications.

A location analyzer resource (a.k.a., communication management resource) receives location information indicating expected locations of one or more installed physical assets in a network environment. The location analyzer resource also retrieves network infrastructure map information such as including images associated with the network environment. The network infrastructure map information and corresponding images indicate actual locations of available physical infrastructure in the network environment. Among other operations, the location analyzer resource analyzes images of the available physical infrastructure to determine a respective actual location of each installed physical asset of interest. The learned locations of the one or more installed physical assets are then used by a configuration management resource to produce a network installation plan in which to install one or more wireless access points to provide wireless access to wireless stations in respective geographical regions serviced by the new wireless access points.
