    摘要: Disclosed is a method of operating a Radio Access Network (RAN) including a Radio Unit (RU), a first Distributed Unit (DU), a second DU that functions as a dynamic standby DU, and a network management device. After the RU transmits data to the first DU using a configuration parameter set to an address of the first DU, the RU detects an outage of the first DU. In response to detecting the outage, the RU transmits to the network management device a message indicating detection of the outage. In response, the network management device configures the second DU to perform the functions of the first DU, and causes the second DU to request the RU to set the configuration parameter to an address of the second DU. The RU then uses the configuration parameter set to the address of the second DU to transmit data to the second DU.

    摘要: A method of communicating in a Fifth-Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) cellular telecommunication Radio Access Network (RAN) is performed by a gNobeB (gNB) and includes: determining that a first User Equipment (UE) that communicates with a Radio Unit (RU) is of a first type; determining that a second UE that communicates with the RU is of a second type; obtaining a first value that is associated with the first type; obtaining a second value that is associated with the second type, wherein the second value is different from the first value; controlling the first UE to use the first value as a t-Reassembly timer parameter used in a Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol; and controlling the second UE to use the second value as the t-Reassembly timer parameter used in the RLC protocol. The method may be performed independently for uplink and downlink directions.

    摘要: A base station includes a memory that stores a threshold downlink signal strength and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to monitor a plurality of measurement reports from a user equipment (UE), wherein each measurement report includes a measured downlink signal strength of a downlink signal received at the UE. The processor compares the measured downlink signal strength received in each measurement report to a threshold downlink signal strength. When each of the measured downlink signal strengths received in the measurement reports during a first time period equals or is below the threshold downlink signal strength, the processor configures the UE to transmit using a first waveform. When each of the measured downlink signal strengths received in the measurement reports during a second time period exceeds the threshold downlink signal strength, the processor configures the UE to transmit using a second waveform.

    摘要: Systems and methods for enhanced PRACH 5G configuration by preventing interference with signal transmission. One such method includes: implementing a PRACH configuration in which the same root sequence index (RSI) is utilized across the sectors of the site, implementing the PRACH configuration in which a time shift is utilized for each preamble that provides each preamble with its own time slot, enabling multiple UEs to each send a preamble that is time shifted to arrive at the gNB at different times and avoid a RAPID (Random Access Preamble Identifier) mismatch, and receiving preambles that are frequency shifted and reducing PRACH interference among different sectors that causes a degradation of PRACH performance using shifts in time domain.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods for customer specific network slicing include a virtual network operator (“VNO”) server, a first node, and a virtualized network. The VNO server instantiates a solution manager engine which identifies a Solution, communicates the Solution to the first node, and upon acceptance of the Solution by the first node, instructs the virtualized network to couple the first node with a second node in accordance with the Solution. The virtualized network may include network function virtualization infrastructure and the Solution may include a slice of the virtualized network. The slice satisfies a Service Level Requirement (SLR), such as one that specifies a maximum latency for the slice. The SLR is specified in a Need received by the VNO server from the first node. The SLR is determined based upon an application program the first Node is at least one of currently executing and expected to later execute.

    摘要: A technique is directed to methods and systems for managing multiple traffic light devices. In some implementations, the method includes (1) receiving a request for route planning for a vehicle; (2) determining a location of the vehicle; (3) planning a route for the vehicle at least based on the request and a set of rules; and (4) implementing the route for the vehicle by communicating with one or more of multiple traffic light devices along the route. In some implementations, the set of rules includes a subscription plan associated with the vehicle, and the subscription plan is indicative of an assigned priority of the vehicle.

    摘要: A facility operates with respect to a configuration of one or more unmanned aerial vehicles operating as relays between on or more wireless network participant devices and one or more wireless base stations being supported directly or indirectly by a planetary surface. The facility conducts an experiment that yields quality of service results and flight duration results for each of multiple values of a UAV control parameter. The facility selects a value of the UAV control parameter that produced an advantageous tradeoff of quality of service results and flight duration results, and stores the selected value, such that the stored value of the UAV control parameter is usable to operate the UAVs of the configuration in production service.
