Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to:
monitor network traffic data within a service area of a base station node that includes at least one cell;
identify available spectrums within the service area, the available spectrums including a citizen broadband radio service spectrum (CBRS) and a licensed spectrum that corresponds to a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) spectrum;
allocate a first spectrum of the available spectrums to an initial service segment of the service area, the initial service segment extending outward from the base station node to an initial service edge;
allocate the CBRS to a second service segment of the service area, the second service segment extending outward from the initial service edge to a second service edge;
generate scheduling criteria to allocate the network traffic that is transmitted within the initial service segment to the first spectrum and the network traffic that is transmitted within the second service segment to the CBRS;
in response to a determination that a spectrum allocation of the CBRS is time expired, allocate the licensed spectrum to the second service segment of the service area, and generate additional scheduling criteria to allocate network traffic that is transmitted with the second service segment to the licensed spectrum;
analyze the network traffic data to determine an LTE bandwidth requirement;
identify a select number of subframes of a plurality of subframes associated with the at least one cell for configuration as Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes for LTE communication transmissions via the licensed spectrum, based at least in part on the LTE bandwidth requirement; and
generate optimization data for delivery to the base station node to configure the select number of subframes as the MBSFN subframes.
