Wireless communication network management for user devices based on real time mapping

An RF communication device for communicating wireless radio frequency (RF) signals communicated over a network between one or more remote RF communication nodes and one or more user devices (UEs), comprising:

• one or more beam forming first antennas that communicate one or more beams of downlink and uplink wireless RF signals with the one or more remote RF communication nodes;
• one or more second antennas that communicate the downlink and uplink wireless signals to the one or more UEs that are local to the RF communication device;
• and
• one or more components that provide one or more of location information and position information for the RF communication device;
• and
• a controller that is operable to perform actions, including:
• receiving a map that includes types of information for communicating with the one or more remote RF communication nodes that are attached to one or more RF communication structures located on the map, wherein the types of information include one or more of a location, a position, and an association with one or more wireless carriers for the one or more remote RF communication nodes;
• employing the map to discover RF signals radiated by each remote RF communication node that is currently available for establishing a communication connection with a wireless carrier that is authorized to communicate with the one or more UEs;
• selecting an RF communication node to establish the communication connection between the authorized wireless carrier and the one or more UEs based on one or more characteristics of the one or more currently available remote RF communication nodes, wherein the one or more characteristics include one or more of a power value for radiated RF signals that is greater than a threshold value, or association with the wireless carrier that is authorized to communicate with the one or more UEs;
• and
• communicating with a remotely located network computer that performs actions, including:
• employing an out of band channel to identify steady state connections between the one or more UEs and the currently available RF communication nodes;
• employing the out of band channel to monitor and control one or more of remote RF communication nodes on the network;
• and
• in response to a change in operation of the network, adjusting the operation of one or more of the RF communication devices, or the one or more remote RF communication nodes.
