    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of operating a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network radio access network (RAN). The method includes: receiving, by an intelligent sensor device, configuration information that identifies carrier frequencies; receiving, by the intelligent sensor device, a radio frequency signal at each of the carrier frequencies identified by the configuration information; generating, by the intelligent sensor device, digital signal information corresponding to the radio frequency signal received at each of the carrier frequencies identified by the configuration information; and transmitting, by the intelligent sensor device, the digital signal information to a sensor processing unit device. The sensor processing unit device determines a network load on each of the carrier frequencies identified by the configuration information based on the digital signal information. The sensor processing unit device transmits corresponding network load information to a processing device that makes user mobility determinations based on the network load information.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services by intelligently deploying radio access network components and redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements for one or more network slices are described. The radio access network components may include virtualized distributed units (VDUs) and virtualized centralized units (VCUs). To satisfy a latency requirement for a network slice, various components of a radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to user equipment. To satisfy a power requirement for the network slice, various components of the radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to core network components. Over time, the components of the radio access network may be dynamically reassigned to different layers within a data center hierarchy in order to satisfy changing latency requirements and power requirements for the network slice.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive mini-slot management in a network, including an element management control unit comprising a set of distribution and central units (DU/CU) to monitor power and channel traffic at a plurality of cell sites in the network; a scheduler unit for user equipment (UE) to enable and disable a set of mini-slots in a downlink (DL) pattern and an uplink (UL) pattern including at least two concatenated patterns jointly repeated with periodicity in a slot configuration period for new radio (NR) communications by users at cell sites in the network; and in response to a request by a user, the scheduler unit reserves a number of mini-slots for use in each slot configuration period wherein a reserved slot number is responsive to at least one of a condition of an AC power outage, and reduced channel traffic based on data received by the DU/CU about the condition.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services by intelligently deploying redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements are described. A data center hierarchy of a cellular network is established with a first data center layer, a second data center layer, and a third data center layer. A first redundant link is established between a first node in the first data center layer and a third node in the third data center layer. In response to detecting that a failure rate of the first data center layer exceeds a threshold failure rate, the first redundant link is removed and a second redundant link is added between the third node and a second node in the second data center layer.
