Wireless in-band backhaul communication

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving, at a communication cell, a request to establish a communication session for delivery to a core network of carrier network, the request originating from a user device that is connected to the communication cell;
• populating a lookup table stored in the communication cell with an association of a session identifier assigned to the communication session and a caller identifier of the user device;
• placing the request into an uplink buffer portion of the communication cell that is set aside for the user device;
• encoding, via the communication cell, the request into one or more physical resource blocks reserved for the communication cell by a macrocell, the physical resource blocks being a part of a wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell, the wireless in-band backhaul taking place of a dedicated backhaul between the communication cell and a core network of a carrier network;
• and
• transmitting, from the communication cell, the one or more physical resource blocks that include the request from the communication cell to the macrocell for delivery to the core network.

A communication cell, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory having instructions stored therein, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
• receiving a request to establish a communication session for delivery to a core network of carrier network, the request originating from a user device that is connected to a communication cell;
• populating a lookup table stored in the communication cell with an association of a session identifier assigned to the communication session and a caller identifier of the user device;
• placing the request into an uplink buffer portion of the communication cell that is set aside for the user device;
• encoding the request into one or more physical resource blocks reserved for the communication cell by a macrocell, the physical resource blocks being a part of a wireless in-band backhaul between the communication cell and the macrocell, the wireless in-band backhaul taking place of a dedicated backhaul between the communication cell and a core network of a carrier network;
• and
• transmitting the one or more physical resource blocks that include the request from the communication cell to the macrocell for delivery to the core network.
