A communication management resource receives input from a first wireless network. The input is generated in response to a mobile communication device requesting use of wireless services from the first wireless network; the first wireless network is operated by a first service provider. The communication management resource (such as in or associated with a second wireless network) allocates a network address for use by the mobile communication device. The network address is allocated by an allocation management resource in the second wireless network, which is operated by a second service provider. The communication management resource then communicates the allocated network address from the second wireless network through the first wireless network to the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device uses the network address to communicate through the first wireless network.

METHODS AND APPARATUS RELATING TO COMMUNICATING AND/OR USING TIMING INFORMATION TO FACILITATE CARRIER AGGREGATION AND/OR DUAL CONNECTIVITY
A master node (MN) communicating with a UE using resources of a first band of unlicensed spectrum sends an addition request to a selected secondary node, to request resources for supporting the UE in a second band of unlicensed spectrum. The addition request includes timing information including one or more of: i) information indicating a start time for the MN time division duplexing (TDD) timing structure with respect to the UE, or ii) information indicating a reference clock being used by the MN. The secondary node uses the received timing information from the MN to perform timing alignment at the secondary node. The adjusted timing alignment of the secondary node allows the UE to achieve slot-boundary and/or symbol boundary alignment with regard to MN communications using the first unlicensed spectrum and SN communications using the second unlicensed spectrum. Due to the achieved synchronization, an in-device coexistence (IDC) problem is avoided.

The addition request includes minimum frequency separation information and optionally a baseline reference frequency. The minimum frequency separation information communicated in the addition request, indicates a minimum amount of frequency separation to be maintained between the communication resources in the first band of unlicensed spectrum used for communications with the UE and communication resource in the second band of unlicensed spectrum to be used for communications with the UE. The secondary node selects a channel within the second band of unlicensed spectrum to use for communications with the UE, which will satisfy the minimum frequency separation requirement communicated in the addition request and avoid IDC problems for the UE.
A user equipment (UE) receives time division duplexing (TDD) configuration information from a master node (MN), with which the UE is communicating using a first band of unlicensed spectrum and receives TDD configuration information from a secondary node (SN), which is being added to support communications with the UE using a second band of unlicensed spectrum. The UE compares the two TDD structures, identifying DL and UL slots in SN TDD structure which correspond to DL and UL time intervals in the MN TDD structure, designating at least some of those SN slots as preferred DL slots and preferred UL slots. The UE communicates information indicating its preferred DL slots and preferred UL slots in an assistance message to the SN. The SN using UE slot preference information, selects DL and UL slots to be used for UE communications and implements a TDD structure, which avoids an IDC problem.

GATEWAY REGISTRATION MANAGEMENT IN A NETWORK OF COMMUNICATION DEVICES
A network server provides connectivity between multiple registered wireless gateways and multiple application servers. The network server receives a registration request from a new wireless gateway to communicate with or through network server. The network server assigns a registration counter to the wireless gateway. The registration counter tracks failed attempts of the wireless gateway to register with the network server. For each failed registration attempt by the new wireless gateway, the network server adjusts a count value of the registration counter. The network server might also track additional information related to the failed registration attempt counter, such as the reason for failure of the registration attempt.

Lawful intercept is supported by providing a network communications device target identifiers in encrypted form. Received encrypted target identifiers are stored in a non-volatile storage device. Before communications interception occurs, one or more encrypted target identifiers are loaded into active memory which is secure and not accessible by a network device operating system administrator. A decryption request is sent to a security device and the result loaded into the secure active memory. Plain text target identifier(s) returned by the security device are loaded directly into the active memory without being stored in the operating system administrator accessible storage device. In the case of a reset resulting in the contents of the active memory being lost, the active memory is repopulated by sending decryption requests using the stored encrypted target identifiers to indicate to the security device the target identifiers which need to be decrypted and reloaded into active memory.

A wireless base station, via a first wireless beam in a beamforming codebook, transmits communications to multiple communication devices. In one implementation, the wireless base station receives respective channel matrix information from each of the multiple communication devices. The channel matrix information indicates weight coefficients applied to respective receiver antenna hardware to receive the communications. Alternatively, when reciprocity holds, the wireless base station can be configured to generate the channel matrix information based on observation of receiving communications from the one or more communication devices. Via the channel matrix information, a communication management resource associated with the wireless base station adjusts beamforming settings of the first wireless beam to best support communications with the communication devices over the first wireless beam. The communication management resource dynamically updates the beamforming codebook such that a corresponding wireless beam is angularly adjusted towards a centroid of the communication devices.
