    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards providing 5G zero touch traffic management of cells in a network. A target cell associated with a network objective is identified. One or more neighbor cells are also identified. Transmit power and tilt capabilities of the target cell are determined. An interference between the target cell and the one or more neighbor cells is also determined. An electrical antenna tilt adjustment or a transmit power adjustment is determined for the target cell to apply based on the transmit power capabilities, the tilt capabilities, the interference, and the network objective. The determined electrical antenna tilt adjustment or the determined transmit power adjustment are then provided to the target cell. If the network objective is met after the target cell applies the electrical antenna tilt adjustment or the determined transmit power adjustment, then the changes are confirmed, otherwise they are reversed.

    Abstract: An application marketplace system is able to provide applications to a device which cause the device's interaction with a network to change. The application marketplace system identifies a plurality of aspects of a network, each of which provide a type of network functionality for a device connected to the network. The application marketplace system receives user input indicating one or more aspects of the plurality of aspects of the network and user input indicating a device connected to the network. The application marketplace system generates an application for the device based on the user input and causes the application to be provided to the device. The generated application is able to change the device's interaction with the network.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated sector creation in greenfield physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, a network operator is granted licenses to use multiple spectrum blocks in multiple geographic regions for which the network operator does not currently have physical infrastructure. An RF network design defines a number of template antennas located at template site locations to meet a link budget over a target coverage area. For each template site location, embodiments can automatically compute sectors based on the associated template antennas and local spectrum licensing information. The computed sectors can effectively define a physical network deployment, including locations and configurations for sector antennas, by which the network operator can provide a desired quality of coverage to subscribers in the target coverage area.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling uplink power in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). An NTN station transmits a reference signal at a first time having a defined transmission power and the reference signal is received by non-terrestrial user equipment. The user equipment evaluates the reference signal and determines a first downlink loss of the reference signal by calculating a difference between a measured power level of the received reference signal and the defined transmission power. The NTN station transmits a communication signal at a second time and is received by the user equipment, which estimates a second downlink loss of the communication signal based on the first downlink loss and a power level of the communication signal. A first uplink loss is estimated based on the second downlink loss, and the user equipment adjusts a transmission power of its transmitter based on the first uplink loss.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards providing extended Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 compliant content. An ATSC 3.0 extension device receives ATSC 3.0 compliant content and other data via a broadband communication. The ATSC 3.0 extension device broadcasts the ATSC 3.0 compliant content via ATSC 3.0 data signals and broadcasts the other data via 5G data signals. A user device receives the ATSC 3.0 compliant content via the ATSC 3.0 data signals and receives the other data via the 5G data signals. The user device combines and outputs the ATSC 3.0 compliant content with the other data for presentation to a user.

    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed here relates to a mounting system that facilitates the mounting of a transceiver to an antenna structure in a cellular communication system. In general, the mounting system includes an antenna mounting bracket, a transceiver mounting bracket, and a pair of guide rails. The antenna mounting bracket is configured to attach to the antenna structure while the transceiver mounting bracket is configured to attach to the transceiver. The pair of guide rails are configured to attach to the antenna mounting bracket and include channels to receive corresponding hooked structures on the transceiver mounting bracket. Specifically, the transceiver mounting bracket includes first and second hooked structures, and guide rails include first and second channels that are considered to receive the hooked structures such that the hooked structures can slide into the first and second channels on the guide rails.

    Abstract: When a failed connection is detected from a first radio unit (RU) to the cellular site router (CSR), activation of an existing backup cabled connection from the first RU to the CSR through a cabled connection between the first RU and a second RU of the cellular telecommunications tower may be performed. In one example, a first RU and second RU each have two physical network ports. The activation of the existing backup cabled connection from the first RU, via the second RU, to the CSR may include causing the first RU to enter from a normal operating mode into an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) cascade operating mode to attempt to attain network connectivity for the first RU using the second physical network port of the first RU.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for expediting sensor reporting in a wireless hybrid time division multiple access (TDMA) shared-medium network are presented. A TDMA channel allocation process for the wireless hybrid TDMA shared-medium network may be performed such that each sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices is assigned a different timeslot. Within each timeslot of the plurality of timeslots, a grant-free transmission window may be reserved. Any sensor device may be permitted to transmit data during any grant-free transmission window. In response to the sensor device determining the sensor data is to be transmitted, the sensor device may transmit a message indicative of the sensor data during a grant-free transmission window of a timeslot assigned to a different sensor device.
