Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
under control of one or more processors:
identifying available spectrums within a service area of a base station node that includes at least one cell, the available spectrums including a citizen broadband radio service spectrum (CBRS) and a licensed spectrum that corresponds to a 5G-NR spectrum;
allocating a first spectrum of the available spectrums to a first service segment of the service area, the first service segment extending outward from the base station node to a first service edge;
allocating the CBRS to a second service segment of the service area, the second service segment extending outward from the first service edge to a second service edge;
generating scheduling criteria to allocate network traffic transmitted within the first service segment to the first spectrum and network traffic transmitted within the second service segment to the CBRS;
in response to determining that a spectrum allocation of the CBRS is time expired, allocating the licensed spectrum to the second service segment of the service area, and generating additional scheduling criteria to allocate network traffic that is transmitted with the second service segment to the licensed spectrum;
analyzing network traffic within the second service segment to determine a 5G-New Radio (5G-NR) bandwidth requirement;
identifying 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 long-Term Evolution (LTE) communication transmissions, based at least in part on the 5G-NR bandwidth requirement; and
generating optimization data for delivery to the base station node to configure the select number of subframes as the MBSFN subframes.
