Original Abstract Submitted
architectures, methods and apparatus for providing data services (including enhanced ultra-high data rate services and iot data services) which leverage existing managed network (e.g., cable network) infrastructure, while also providing support and in some cases utilizing the 3gpp requisite nsa functionality. also disclosed are the ability to control nodes within the network via embedded control channels, some of which “repurpose” requisite 3gpp nsa infrastructure such as lte anchor channels. in one variant, the premises devices include rf-enabled receivers (enhanced consumer premises equipment, or cpee) configured to receive (and transmit) ofdm waveforms via a coaxial cable drop to the premises. in another aspect of the disclosure, methods and apparatus for use of one or more required nsa lte channels for transmission of iot user data (and control/management data) to one or more premises devices are provided.
