    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated detection of border conflicts in physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, proposed sector antennas in a greenfield physical network deployment may be licensed to radiate in certain spectrum blocks in the mapped licensed geographic regions (mLGR) where they are located, but the licenses may not permit radiated power in those spectrum blocks to cross into adjacent mLGRs. Embodiments compute radiation contours for the sector antennas indicating estimated local power levels computed based on antenna characteristics of the sector antennas and propagation model data that defines geographic morphologies for the mLGRs. The radiation contours are analyzed to detect any border conflict conditions where the estimated local power levels exceed defined threshold radiation levels in unlicensed regions. A culprit set of the sector antennas can be output to indicate those responsible for detected border conflict conditions.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching in a cellular network (e.g., a 5G network). Example embodiments include systems and methods for: the RAN functions supporting providing measuring and reporting particular items for dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching with a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching without a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting latency/bandwidth criteria; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting resource criteria; and prioritization for using CA instead of DC based on CQI information reported from UEs.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards an adaptive DU scheduler that increases the user experiences on higher channel bandwidths (BWs) while ensuring no drops for Voice over New Radio (VoNR) or other high priority traffic. Example embodiments include systems and methods for an adaptive distributed unit (DU) scheduler in a wireless telecommunication network, such as a wireless 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods that include: a central scheduler for maximizing overall throughput based on received parameter values; maximizing the overall cell site throughput; an intelligence layer that has an artificial intelligence and/or machine learning (AI/ML) model that increases the performance for all the cells by sending info to central scheduler for each of the cells; an intelligence layer that has an AI/ML models for each site type based on the traffic distribution across each cell; centralized RAN pooling; a containerized DU server with master a controller pod controlling individual cell pods; and a containerized DU server with a DU common scheduler managing all the cells.

    Abstract: In response to detection that a capacity of the fronthaul link has been or will be exceeded, a software intelligence layer operating on a transport layer router that aggregates network traffic from the one or more radio units (RUs) causes a change in how in-phase and quadrature (IQ) data packets sent on the fronthaul link are handled to reduce use of the capacity of the fronthaul link. In another example embodiment, a software intelligence layer operating at an application layer of the wireless telecommunication network may perform one or more actions utilizing access to scheduler level information for the distributed units (DUs) to avoid the fronthaul link exceeding the capacity limit based on incoming IQ samples to a router that aggregates network traffic from one or more corresponding RUs.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for identifying backup candidate cell sites for a primary cell site are described. A backup candidate cell site may comprise a cell site that is available to replace or support a primary cell site that serves a coverage area in the event that the primary cell site fails or experiences a significant reduction in signal transmission capability. The backup candidate cell sites may be identified based on a distance between a backup candidate cell site and the primary cell site, a minimum distance between the backup candidate cell site and one or more hosted sites that comprise sources of signal interference, and a buffer range between the antenna height for the primary cell site and the backup candidate cell site. Height conflicts occurring between cell site antennas and clutter within proximity of the antennas may be identified.
