    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: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, methods, computer readable medium, and circuits for transmitting, from an access point (AP), a multi-link device (MLD) grouping to a station device (STA); transmitting, from the AP, a policy to accept energy efficiency instructions that includes multi-link operation (MLO) in an energy conservation mode; transmitting, from the AP, instructions to reduce battery consumption by the station by limiting MLO operations and activating a single radio of a plurality of radios on the STA, wherein a remainder of the plurality of radios are inactive and powered off; determining, at the AP, that activity from the STA is increasing; and transmitting a wake-up message to one or more of the inactive radios on the STA.

    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: 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.
