Abstract
The present disclosure describes one or more aspects for selecting a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) profile for communicating with an associated CBRS network. Such aspects may include providing a plurality of CBRS profiles associated with respective CBRS network cells, receiving contextual information surrounding current and past network connections of a user device and/or other user devices, selecting one of the CBRS profiles based on the contextual information, and configuring a modem of the user device to communicate with an associated CBRS network.
Claims20
A method implemented by a user device for selecting a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) profile, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of CBRS profiles associated with respective CBRS networks;
- receiving contextual information that is usable by the user device to select a CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- selecting, utilizing the contextual information, a selected CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- configuring a modem to connect with a CBRS network associated with the selected CBRS profile;
- and
- communicating with the associated CBRS network using the selected CBRS profile.
A user device comprising:
- a profile selection module configured to:
- receive a plurality of CBRS profiles associated with respective CBRS networks;
- receive contextual information about at least one of the user device or another user device, the contextual information usable by the profile selection module to select a CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- and
- select, utilizing the contextual information, a selected CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- and
- a dynamic standby module configured to:
- configure a modem of the user device to connect and communicate with a CBRS network associated with the selected CBRS profile.
A method implemented by a remote service device for selecting Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) profiles, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of CBRS profiles associated with respective CBRS networks;
- receiving contextual information associated with a user device that is remote to the remote service device that is usable to select a CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- selecting, utilizing the contextual information, a selected CBRS profile from the plurality of CBRS profiles;
- and
- transmitting the selected CBRS profile to the user device effective to cause the user device to configure a modem of the user device to communicate with a CBRS network associated with the CBRS profile.
