Abstract: Provided herein are techniques to facilitate conflict management in a shared Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture. In one instance, a method can be performed by a conflict manager of a near-real-time RAN intelligent controller of a shared RAN including radio unit (RU) nodes provided by a host operator. The method can include obtaining each of a requested radio unit (RU) configuration from each of a distributed unit (DU) node operated by each of a tenant operator and determining whether there are any conflicts among RU configuration parameters for each requested RU configuration. In one instance, upon determining one or more conflicts among the RU configuration parameters for each requested RU configuration, the method may include providing a response to each DU node indicating that each DU node is allowed to configure the plurality of RU nodes using each requested RU configuration in accordance with a modification.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a pairwise transient key security association (PTKSA) by: providing a first media access control (MAC) address that is shared by multiple access points (APs), the first MAC address corresponding to an infrastructure comprising the multiple APs, and each AP of the multiple APs having a respective AP MAC address; providing a second MAC address to a station (STA); and establishing a secure link between the STA and the infrastructure using the first MAC address and the second MAC address to derive a pairwise transit key (PTK) for the secure link, wherein the secure link is between the STA and the multiple APs.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate delivering standalone non-public network (SNPN) credentials from an enterprise authentication server to a user equipment (UE) using an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) process. In one example, a method may include determining, by an authentication server of an enterprise, that a UE for the enterprise is to receive credentials to enable the UE to connect to a SNPN of the enterprise in which the determining is performed based, at least in part, on connection of the UE to an access network that is different than the SNPN for the enterprise; and performing an authentication process with the UE by the authentication server in which the authentication process includes providing the credentials to the UE via a first authentication message and obtaining confirmation from the UE via a second authentication message that indicates successful provisioning of the credentials for the UE.

Abstract: In an enterprise network environment where there is deployment of two (or more) types of access network technologies, when a terminal device is unable to connect to one of the access networks, techniques are presented herein that the terminal device and the network can use for sharing error conditions/cause codes/remedial hints on the access technology that the terminal device is able to connect. With this approach, self-healing, proactive reporting and diagnostic actions are brought to terminal device access connectivity issues.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving energy efficiency data from a plurality of nodes within a network. The method also includes determining an energy efficiency node quotient for each of the plurality of nodes within the network to generate a plurality of energy efficiency node quotients and determining an energy efficiency path quotient for each of a plurality of paths within the network to generate a plurality of energy efficiency path quotients. The method further includes determining one or more policies associated with the plurality of paths and selecting a path from the plurality of paths based at least on the plurality of energy efficient path quotients and the one or more policies.

Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for switching a dynamic radio of a single RU between Radio Access Technology (RAT) protocols based on a Software-Defined RAN intelligent controller (SD-RIC). The SD-RIC efficiently assigning RAN resources by converting a radio access point to either 5G or Wi-Fi based on the load conditions and the number of users seen on the network, so that it appropriately servers the customer and end devices. To determine the load conditions may be based on active users on a particular cell, and then the resource utilization cue is a connection latency. A single radio unit includes a primary radio and a secondary radio, each being independently tuned. The primary radio is static while a secondary one can be influenced based on the conditions, turning into N-RU or Wi-Fi.

Abstract: Methods are provided which indicate availability of the same service on a different access network. In these methods, the network controller generates an identifier for each of one or more services provided by a wireless local access network (WLAN). The identifier is associated with a particular service which is also provided by a private radio network. The network controller provides to an access point the identifier to be broadcast to one or more user devices of the WLAN to connect to the particular service via the private radio network. A mobility management entity receives a request from a user device to connect to the private network, where the request includes an identifier associated with a particular service provided to the user device in the WLAN and based on the identifier, the mobility management entity enables the particular service to be provided to the user device via the private radio network.
