    摘要: Various methods, apparatus and systems are disclosed related to the detection and reporting of UE inactivity. One exemplary method is performed by a distributed unit of a base station. The base station further comprises a centralized unit. The method comprises: monitoring the activity of one or more data radio bearers, established between the distributed unit and a user equipment, for carrying user data; and transmitting, to the centralized unit, a report message comprising an indication of the activity of the one or more data radio bearers.

    摘要: A device may utilize a point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) and a point-to-point protocol (PPP) to register the device with a core network, and may establish a first packet data unit (PDU) session with the core network based on the PPPoE and the PPP. The device may configure the first PDU session, based on the PPPoE and the PPP, to provide a first service, and may generate first keep alive messages to maintain the first PDU session. The device may establish a second PDU session with the core network based on the PPPoE and the PPP, and may configure the second PDU session based on the PPPoE and the PPP, where the second PDU session is configured to provide a second service that is different than the first service. The device may generate second keep alive messages to maintain the second PDU session.

    摘要: During operation, a radio node may provide, at a transmit time during a first time interval, a first instance of a keep-alive message to a computer. Then, the radio node may receive, at a receive time prior to a first instance of a transmit expire time, an instance of a keep-alive response from the computer, where the instance of the keep-alive response authorizes the radio node to transmit in a granted portion of the spectrum until a second instance of the transmit expire time has elapsed. Moreover, the radio node may determine, based at least in part on the receive time and the first instance of the transmit expire time, an updated transmit time. Next, the radio node may provide, at the updated transmit time, which is prior to the second instance of the transmit expire time, a second instance of the keep-alive message addressed to the computer.

    摘要: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a beam recovery when there has been a partial control channel failure. Transient obstructions, and other interference effects can cause the failure of a beam pair link which can comprise a transmit beam and a receive beam associated with respective antennas on a transmitter and receiver. A group of control channels (downlink control channels) (configured as a control resource set “CORESET”) on a group of beam pair links can be associated with a group of uplink control resources (Physical Uplink Control Channel resources). When a subset of the CORESET group fails, the user equipment (UE) device can find another PUCCH that is associated with a working CORESET to send an indication to the network about the failure. When the network receives the indication, the network can switch the failed CORESET to a new beam pair link.

    摘要: A network includes an intermediate node to communicate with a child node via a wireless network protocol. An intermediate node synchronizer in the intermediate node facilitates time synchronization with its parent node and with the child node. A child node synchronizer in the child node to facilitates time synchronization with the intermediate node. The intermediate node synchronizer exchanges synchronization data with the child node synchronizer to enable the child node to be time synchronized to the intermediate node before the intermediate node is synchronized to its parent node if the intermediate node has not synchronized to its parent node within a predetermined guard time period established for the child node.

    摘要: This disclosure relates generally to wireless communications and, more particularly, to systems and methods for maintaining signal and data connections from a mobile base station portion relative to a fixed network portion. In one embodiment, a method performed by a communication node gateway, includes: receiving a signal from a mobile communication node portion at a first dynamic port during a first duration of time; directing the signal from the first dynamic port to a static port associated with transport network layer information during the first duration of time; receiving the signal at a second dynamic port during a second duration of time after the first duration of time; and directing the signal from the second dynamic port to the static port during the second duration of time by using the transport network layer information.
