Overlay of millimeter wave (mmWave) on citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) for next generation fixed wireless (NGFW) deployment
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
facilitating provision of citizens broadband radio service network coverage via a citizens broadband radio service radio that utilizes backhaul resources of a macro access point device;
overlaying the citizens broadband radio service network coverage with millimeter wave network coverage that is generated via tiered millimeter wave radios that are configured in an integrated access and backhaul chain that utilize the backhaul resources, wherein a backhaul transmission between a first millimeter wave radio of the tiered millimeter wave radios and a second millimeter wave radio of the tiered millimeter wave radios is facilitated via a first antenna that is configured to have a first gain, wherein a non-backhaul transmission between the first millimeter wave radio and a served user equipment is facilitated via a second first antenna that is configured to have a second gain, and wherein the first gain is higher than the second gain; and
facilitating adaptive resource allocation for millimeter wave transmissions based on traffic demand information associated with the tiered millimeter wave radios.

Abstract
An overlay of millimeter wave (mmWave)-capable cells are added to a citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) network to provide coverage in a next generation fixed wireless (NGFW) network. The availability of mmWave spectrum, with limited reach, can be utilized as a wireless backhaul for subsequent hops. In one aspect, integrated access front-haul nodes (IAFHNs) that are utilized for mmWave transmissions at a second (and/or subsequent) hop can be deployed with self aligning receivers. Further, the IAFHNs can facilitate adaptive resource allocation scheduling in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) chain. In addition, an interface between macro access points can be enhanced to enable the adaptive resource allocation on the IAB chain. In one aspect, a fixed user equipment (UE) can be configured with dual connectivity (DC) and a network operator can offer different tiers of services based on a location of the UE.

17. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of an integrated access front-haul node device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
facilitating backhaul communication between a first millimeter wave radio of the millimeter wave radios and a second millimeter wave radio of the millimeter wave radios via a first antenna that is configured with a first gain that satisfies a high gain criterion; facilitating a broadcast of signals from the first millimeter wave radio to a served user equipment via a second antenna that is configured with a second gain that does not satisfy the high gain criterion, wherein the facilitating the broadcast provides millimeter wave coverage that overlaps a citizens broadband radio service coverage; aligning the first antenna in a first direction towards the second millimeter wave radio; and aligning the second antenna in a second direction towards a defined area to serve the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
