    Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-tier beamforming are disclosed. The method includes receiving a first-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data packet and a plurality of second-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data packets at a transceiver integrated circuit (IC) subarray. Each transceiver IC of the transceiver IC subarray (i) forms a multi-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data set by combining beamformed frequency-domain IQ data from the first-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data packet with beamformed frequency-domain IQ data from selected ones of the second-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data packets, (ii) generates a discrete-time-domain signal from the multi-tier beamformed frequency-domain IQ data set, and (ii) generates a modulated radio frequency (RF) signal from the discrete-time-domain signal. The method further includes transmitting a multi-tier beamformed signal by transmitting respective modulated RF signals from the transceiver ICs of the transceiver IC subarray via a corresponding adjacent antenna element subarray.

    Abstract: A method of determining a lower bound on users' speed for efficient SRS resource handling for MU-MIMO transmission includes determining an eNodeB (eNB) or gNodeB (gNB) timing of a subframe; determining a User Equipment (UE) timing of the subframe; calculating a timing advance type corresponding to a Round Trip Time (RTT); calculating a distance to a base station corresponding to the Round Trip Time (RTT); calculating a distance traveled by a UE between two points based on the distance to the base station; calculating a user speed based on the distance traveled by the UE; deriving a lower bound based on the user speed; and filtering users that exceed the lower bound on user speed. The filtered users may be not assigned SRS. The non-filtered users may be assigned SRS and may subsequently be sent MU-MIMO transmissions.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a local community may manage its own RAN via a simple, secure, self-service user interface in conjunction with a mobile operator. An exemplary system is disclosed, including: at least two base stations providing wireless access to one or more mobile devices and located in a community; a gateway providing a connection to a core network for the at least two base stations; a management functionality in the core network, in communication with the gateway, for authorizing management activities for the at least two base stations; and a user-facing administration module in communication with the management functionality, the user-facing administration module having: a user interface for providing management control to an administrative user in the community.

    Abstract: In the case that several transmitting elements (e.g., a Tx chain) are simultaneously impaired, at least two different layouts are possible: the defected Tx chains are randomly scattered around the array; or, the defected Tx chains are aligned vertically on a random column (for 12 and 24 defected Tx chains—1 and 2 such columns are randomly chosen, respectively). It can be seen that the throughput is worse when the defected Tx chains are aligned in a column rather than randomly scattered, unless the defective Tx chains are known, in which case it is the opposite. This is because disabling an entire column has the most significant effect on the spatial null steering. When defected Tx chains are known the performance of all layouts are almost the same, though column yields slightly better results due to the antenna subarrays (2 vertical antennas have the same feed, therefore we lose less degrees of freedom).

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing core High Availability (HA) for a wireless network. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: providing a first node, a second node and a third node; allocating a set of locally generated Tunnel Endpoint Identifiers (TEIDs) for UEs anchored on the second node; detecting, by a first node, a second node having a connectivity issue; and migrating a User Equipment (UE) connected to the second node to a third node which is accessible; using the set of locally generated TEIDs to identify the UE migration.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a 3G gateway. In a first embodiment, a method is disclosed for a network, comprising: receiving a relocation request message at a home nodeB gateway (HNBGW), the HNBGW coupled to an operator core network, the relocation request message including a target super cell identifier and a user equipment (UE) identifier; sending a second relocation request message from the HNBGW to a coordinating node, the coordinating node having as its identifier the target super cell identifier; querying a lookup table at the coordinating node using the UE identifier to determine a target cell identifier; replacing, in the second relocation request message, the target super cell identifier with the target cell identifier to create a third relocation request message; and sending the third relocation request message to a target cell identified by the target cell identifier.
