The patent US12047978B2 describes a communication system designed to enhance data transmission efficiency between a communication network and user equipment (UE). Central to this system is a communication system node that connects to the network via a first communication link and establishes an unmanaged second communication link with at least one UE. The system incorporates a computing device with processing circuitry that dynamically allocates backhauling resources based on various UE parameters, such as the number of connected UEs, their profiles, and the services they utilize. This allocation process is initiated during the authentication of new UEs and when existing UEs disconnect, ensuring optimal bandwidth distribution tailored to current network demands.

The claims further detail the functionality of the communication system, including the ability to assess connected UEs and retrieve their profiles to inform bandwidth allocation. The processing circuitry can also respond to alarm notifications, adjusting resource allocation as needed. The communication system node may function as an access point, supporting various unmanaged communication links like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and can operate within different mobile or wired communication networks, including 5G, 4G/LTE, fiber, and xDSL. This innovative approach aims to improve the quality of service for users by efficiently managing telecommunication resources in real-time.
