Abstract: Systems and methods provide decentralized MEC compute services. A network device receives, from a user device associated with a user account, an access request for Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) services. The user account includes a MEC service token that indicates parameters for the MEC services. The network device validates a user of the user device to access MEC services for the user device; removes, after the validating, the MEC service token from the first user account; and grants, based on the removing, access to a MEC cluster by the user device, wherein granting access includes granting access according to the parameters.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may include a memory, a communication interface, a plurality of antenna components, and one or more processors. The one or more processors operate to identify a plurality of base stations available for connection via the communication interface and the plurality of antenna components. Virtual user equipment (UE) for two or more of the identified plurality of base stations are allocated and the UE device connects to the two or more base stations using the respective virtual UEs. Network characteristics are identified for the connections with the plurality of base stations. Data flows for the device are identified. The identified data flows are assigned to the virtual UEs based on the identified network characteristics.

Abstract: A wireless signal at a low frequency is received at a face of a meta-material antenna. An offset carrier, at a high frequency, is received at an opposite direction face of the metal-material antenna. Passive mixers upshift the low frequency wireless signal to a high frequency, at the difference between the low frequency and the offset carrier. The upshifted version of the received low frequency signal is radiated from a second face of the meta-material antenna.

Abstract: In the various embodiments, a radio communication system implementing an Switched Antenna Array (SAA) is provided that minimizes the number of radio chains required for a given number of antennas by implementing a radio frequency (RF) switch that connects the radio chains to the antennas. In some embodiments, the RF switch can activate a subset of antennas in the antenna array to generate an appropriate beam pattern for communications with another device. In some embodiments, a method is provided to determine a configuration matrix corresponding to a beam pattern with a desired signal conformity level.

Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in which an predictive discontinuous reception (DRX) bypass service is provided. The bypass service may provide flow control signaling that enables an uplink grant to be transmitted to an end device regardless of the DRX mode. The bypass service may provide for an immediate grant for uplink data and may improve latency. The bypass service may also provide flow control signaling for downlink data that may cause the end device to wake up from a DRX mode and receive downlink data. The bypass service also provides predictive scheduling that allows an external network, such as a multi-access edge computing network to establish a DRX-free downlink connection before completion of data processing. The flow control signaling may include a quality of service flow identifier value that correlates to the bypass service.

Abstract: A management system obtains, from a user device, information indicating a power measurement of a beam set that is utilized to communicate with the user device. The beam set includes one or more active beams, of a plurality of beams, that are associated with a single beam identifier. The management system identifies a location of the user device and thereby determines an expected power measurement of the beam set. The management system determines that a difference between the power measurement of the beam set and the expected power measurement of the beam set satisfies (e.g., is greater than or equal to) a difference threshold. The management system therefore causes the beam set to be modified. The management system may use a machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) to facilitate modification of the beam set.

Abstract: A device may receive capacity information associated with a plurality of base stations, and may receive user equipment demands associated with the plurality of base stations. The device may receive, from a satellite, a satellite backhaul demand associated with the satellite, and may calculate excess backhaul capacities associated with the plurality of base stations, based on the user equipment demands and the capacity information. The device may identify a base station, of the plurality of base stations, to provide a satellite backhaul path for the satellite, based on the excess backhaul capacities and the satellite backhaul demand, and may provide, to the base station, a message instructing the base station to activate a satellite antenna associated with the base station. The device may provide, to the satellite, data identifying the base station, and may establish the satellite backhaul path for the satellite, via the base station.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for identifying interference patterns associated with wireless communication sites and/or grouping wireless communication sites based upon identified interference patterns are provided. In an example, signal strength information associated with a wireless communication site communicating with a user equipment (UE) may be determined. An interference pattern representation of one or more interference patterns associated with the wireless communication site may be generated based upon the signal strength information. A plurality of wireless communication sites, including the wireless communication site, may be grouped into groups of wireless communication sites based upon interference pattern representations associated with the plurality of wireless communication sites. The interference pattern representations include the interference pattern representation.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a mechanism for identifying unique sources of interference in a wireless telecommunication network. A unique noise signature, associated with a particular source of radio frequency (“RF”) interference, may be identified by detecting physical resource blocks (“PRBs”), in a sector, that exhibit excessive interference, as compared to surrounding PRBs. The unique noise signature may be detected across multiple sectors, and a location of the interference source may be determined. Corrective action may be taken once an interference source is detected, such as by ceasing to utilize, or by reducing the utilization of, affected PRBs.
