摘要： Various embodiments of apparatus, systems and/or methods are described for providing an in-service upgrading of software for a radio access network (RAN) distributed unit (DU). First, a software upgrade is received at the DU, where the DU is split into a first DU pod and a second DU pod. The amount of traffic is drained at the first DU pod so that the second DU pod handles all user equipment (UE) traffic for the DU. When the traffic has been drained for the first DU pod, the software upgrade is installed for the first DU pod, and the first DU pod running the upgraded software is redeployed.

摘要： A computer system receives a verification request from a computer device associated with a digital wallet. The verification request includes identification information identifying an entity associated with the wallet. In response to receiving the verification request, the computer system generates an identity verification token using the KYC standard and based on the identification information. The an identity verification token verifies the entity associated with the wallet. The computer system transmits the identity verification token to the computer device for performing a cryptographic transaction linked to the wallet. The computer system receives a validation request associated with the cryptographic transaction from a transaction server. The validation request includes the identity verification token. In response to receiving the validation request, the computer system validates the identity verification token to generate validation information. The computer system transmits the validation information to the transaction server for performing the cryptographic transaction.

摘要： A disclosed method may include (i) receiving, by a mobile virtual network operator from a client of the mobile virtual network operator, a request to perform a task relating to a telecommunication account of the client with the mobile virtual network operator, (ii) forwarding, by the mobile virtual network operator, the request to perform the task to a mobile virtual network enabler, (iii) transforming, by the mobile virtual network operator, an original response to the request from the mobile virtual network enabler after the mobile virtual network enabler completes the task into a transformed response that is agnostic between mobile virtual network enablers, (iv) caching, by the mobile virtual network operator after the transforming, the original response to the request for reference by a troubleshooting component, and (v) reporting, by the mobile virtual network operator to the client, the transformed response.

摘要： Technologies for distributed, dynamic probing for a communications network are disclosed. An example method for distributed, dynamic probing of cell sites includes determining locations of cell sites that serve a communications network, and determining locations for probing virtual servers based on the locations of cell sites. The method also includes implementing one or more probing virtual servers in accordance with the determined locations for the probing virtual servers, using the probing virtual server(s) to conduct active probing of cell site(s), and analyzing results from the active probing to initiate one or more remediation actions.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for improving wireless network performance and efficiency by dynamically configuring network selection and session management functions within a wireless networking environment are described. In some cases, a network and service management system within the wireless networking environment may perform adjustments to the configuration of network slices and protocol data unit (PDU) sessions associated with user equipment (UE) devices utilizing network services provided by the wireless networking environment. The network and service management system may utilize machine learning techniques to provide real-time selection and reconfiguration of network slices and PDU sessions running within the wireless networking environment.

摘要： Various arrangements for dynamically adjusting physical resource block (PRB) usage on a cellular network are presented. A primary entity may be determined to be exercising its priority to spectrum overlapping PRBs used by the cellular network. A frequency band being used by the primary entity based on measuring the signal strengths of wireless transmission by the primary entity can be determined. Subcarriers of the PRBs are identified that overlap the frequency band. A predefined Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) format can be selected based at least in part on the identified subcarriers. A predefined Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format can be selected based at least in part on the identified plurality of subcarriers.

摘要： A network node configured to operate in a wireless communication system includes: memory, at least one transceiver, and at least one processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver. The at least one processor is configured to receive one or more first packets associated with a first radio access network (RAN) resource and one or more second packets associated with a second RAN resource, generate a combined information packet by coalescing the one or more first packets and the one or more second packets, and transmit the combined information packet to a destination identified in at least one of (i) the one or more first packets or (ii) the one or more second packets.

摘要： A method and apparatus for prediction-based non-terrestrial network beam configuration and switching are provided. A base station determines a bandwidth part configuration for a user equipment, which includes a plurality of bandwidth parts respectively corresponding to a plurality of geographic areas. The base station configures the user equipment with the bandwidth part configuration and determines a position or movement of the user equipment in a first geographic area corresponding to a first bandwidth part. The base station determines, based on the position or movement, whether a criterion for reconfiguring the bandwidth part configuration is met. In response to determining that the criterion is met, the base station reconfigures the bandwidth part configuration of the user equipment while the user equipment is positioned in the first geographic area. The reconfiguration includes modifying the plurality of bandwidth parts to include a second bandwidth part corresponding to a second geographic area.
