Patent ID: 10849174

Abstract:
In a wireless access point, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Common Unit (CU) exchanges media-conferencing data with an LTE Distributed Unit (DU). The LTE DU exchanges the media-conferencing data User Equipment (UEs). The LTE CU determines a media-conferencing load. Based the media-conferencing load, the LTE CU determines a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) Uplink (UL) allocation and an LTE UL allocation for an internet-access service. The LTE CU transfers LTE signaling and 5GNR signaling for delivery to the UEs. The LTE DU receives LTE UL internet data from the UEs per the LTE UL allocation and transfers the LTE UL internet data to the LTE CU. The 5GNR DU receives 5GNR UL internet data from the UEs per the 5GNR UL allocation and transfers the 5GNR UL internet data to the 5GNR CU. The LTE CU may also implement 5GNR/LTE downlink allocations for the internet-access service based on the media-conference load.
