Spectrum sharing system for telecommunications network traffic

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• monitoring transmission of real-time network traffic via a base station node operating within a telecommunications network, the base station node including a first cell that is configured for communications via a first spectrum and a second cell that is configured for communications via a second spectrum;
• identifying a first subset of the real-time network traffic that is associated with transmission of communications via the first spectrum and a second subset of the real-time network traffic that is associated with transmission of communications via the second spectrum;
• retrieving, from a data store, one or more bandwidth allocation criteria associated with bandwidth allocation for spectrum sharing within one of the first cell or the second cell, the one or more bandwidth allocation criteria corresponding to one of a regulatory requirement or a network-imposed efficiency requirement;
• determining that a first bandwidth requirement for transmission of the first subset of the real-time network traffic via the first spectrum is greater than a first bandwidth capacity of the first cell;
• determining a select number of subframes on the second cell for configuration as Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes, based at least in part on compliance with the one or more bandwidth allocation criteria, the MBSFN subframes to facilitate transmission of communications via the first spectrum;
• and
• generating a spectrum sharing data packet for transmission to the base station node, the spectrum sharing data packet including computer executable instructions that dynamically configure the select number of subframes on the second cell as MBSFN subframes for spectrum sharing with the first spectrum.

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 transmission of real-time network traffic via a base station node operating within a telecommunications network, the base station node including a first cell that is configured for communications via a first spectrum and a second cell that is configured for communications via a second spectrum;
• retrieve, from a data store, one or more bandwidth allocation criteria associated with bandwidth allocation for spectrum sharing on the second cell, the bandwidth allocation criteria corresponding to one of a regulatory requirement or a network-imposed efficiency requirement;
• determine whether to configure a select number of subframes on the second cell as Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes to facilitate transmission of communications via the first spectrum, based at least in part on the one or more bandwidth allocation criteria;
• and
• in response to a determination to configure the select number of subframes on the second cell as MBSFN subframes, generate a spectrum sharing data packet for transmission to the base station node, the spectrum sharing data packet including computer executable instructions that dynamically configure the select number of subframes on the second cell as MBSFN subframes for spectrum sharing with the first spectrum.
