Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media for delivering radio applications to reconfigurable radio equipment (RE) for installation and implementation are described. In embodiments, an RE may transmit a request for a radio application (RA) to a RadioApp Store. The RE may receive the requested RA from the RadioApp Store when the RA is verified as being compatible with the RE and when implementation of the RA by the RE is authorized by a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) associated with the RE and/or the RA. The RE may install the RA when the DoC authorizes installation of the RA based on one or more other RAs implemented by the RE. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Various embodiments to enable Spectrum Access System (SAS) controlled interference management are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a memory to store network configuration data and a processing device coupled to the memory. The processing device to generate a protection band based on interference measurements. The protection band is allocated to at least one of the infrastructure node of a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network infrastructure. In this regard, the interference measurements are related to transmissions of data between infrastructure nodes of the LTE network infrastructure. Thereupon, a time slot is determined for the at least one of the infrastructure node based on the protection band. The time slot indicates an allocated time frame to access data in the LTE network infrastructure using a radio frequency in accordance with the protection band.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for software reconfiguration of a multi-radio wireless device that includes multiple radio computers. A wireless device may be configured to associate a first application with a first radio computer and a second application with a second radio computer. The second application may perform a different function than the first application. The UE may be configured to exchange, via a multiradio interface, data between a communication services layer of the wireless device and the first and second radio computers. In some instances, the first application may be a safety related application and/or a safety critical related application and the second application may be a non-safety related application and/or a non-safety critical application.

Abstract: A base station may generate first configuration information to configure a first user equipment (“UE”) to operate using a first bandwidth within a wideband carrier of a cell, generate second configuration information to configure a second UE to operate using a second bandwidth within the wideband carrier of the cell, and cause transmission of the first and second configuration information to the first and second UEs, respectively. The base station may configure the first and second UEs based upon capabilities received from each UE, respectively.
