    Abstract: A method providing Open Radio Access Network (RAN)—Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) information exchange is disclosed, the method comprising: providing an xApp for RAN-MEC information exchange; providing an rApp for RAN-MEC information exchange; acting, by an RM Application Programming Interface (API) service, as an aggregation point in MEC platform; exposing aggregated information from the RM API to a MEC application; and leveraging information shared by RAN functions over an O1 interface or over an E2 interface.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a 4G-5G Open RAN User Plane Path. In one embodiment a method includes keeping, by a Distributed Unit (DU)/Centralized Unit (CU)-User Plane (UP), a list of local switch enabled subscribers; receiving an uplink data packet for a local switch enabled subscriber from a source device; comparing , by the DU/CU-UP, if a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address matches with any of IP addresses in the local switch enabled subscriber destination device IP addresses; and when the destination IP address matches, then switching by the DU/CU-UP the traffic and sending the data packet as a downlink traffic towards the destination device.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed for providing Open RAN CU-UP high availability, the system comprising: at least one active CU-CP; at least one active CU-UP in communication with the at least one active CU-CP; and at least one standby CU-UP in communication with the at least one active CU-CP; wherein when a message may be received from a CU-CP that detects a failure of the at least one active CU-UP, the at least one standby CU-UP may be configured to take over and become an active CU-UP, thereby providing failover redundancy for the at least one active CU-UP.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for MME adaptive selection are described. The method includes: initializing a health checkup algorithm at an eNodeB for each MME connected to as per configuration values; starting a health check timer for each MME; continuing with an Initial Attach procedure for incoming calls based on SAE-Temporary Mobile Subscriber Id (S-TMSI), (Globally Unique MME Identifier) GUMMEI, or capacity/load balancing considerations; on every UE attach attempt, incrementing a total calls count; and on every S1 AP Error Indication/no response from an ME, incrementing a total fail calls count; determining when the health check timer for an MME expires; calculating a failed calls/total calls percentage value. Based on the value of the timer, appropriate action is taken.

    Abstract: A method for optimizing parameters affecting Paging Optimization is disclosed, comprising: determining a first paging stage timeout value based on at least one of how much congested is the radio network, and whether paging from a same sub from a same location but paging optimization had already moved to a second stage; determining a second paging stage timeout value based on receiving retransmissions from core network for the same sub within this time; and how many times the subscribers respond later after the timer expiry; and applying a function to the paging cache timeout value, the first paging stage timeout value; and the second first paging stage timeout value to obtain a paging optimization value.
