    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for neighbor discovery and wireless inter-connection in a wireless communication system. A method for operating a base station (BS) in the wireless communication network includes generating measurement information regarding neighboring BSs of the BS in the wireless communication network; determining a first parent BS of the neighboring BSs to connect to based on the measurement information; performing an initial access procedure with the first parent BS to connect to the first parent BS; identifying an end-to-end route for the BS for transfer of data between a user equipment (UE) and a gateway via the wireless communication network; and transferring the data between the gateway and the UE based on the identified end-to-end route.

    Abstract: A method includes identifying a zone blocked from line of sight (LOS) of a gNB; receiving a 3D spatial map of a first area including the zone and a second area that surrounds the zone and that is within both a coverage area and the LOS of the gNB; determining whether the second area includes a mountable surface to which a passive RF reflective metasurface is attachable; and determining whether the metasurface, if attached to the mountable surface, generates a reflection path to the zone, based on a determination that the second area includes the mountable surface and based on estimated propagation paths from the gNB to the zone. The method includes determining whether to add a metasurface to the second area based on: a determination result whether the reflection path from the metasurface attached to the mountable surface to the zone includes reflected signals satisfying a threshold bandwidth condition.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining range estimates and carrier phase estimates from each of multiple anchors. The method also includes, in response to determining that a trilateration technique is to be performed, (i) obtaining improved range estimates using the carrier phase estimates and (ii) determining a first location estimate of a target device using the trilateration technique and the improved range estimates. The method also includes, in response to determining that a triangulation technique is to be performed, (i) obtaining differential range estimates using the carrier phase estimates and (ii) determining a second location estimate of the target device using the triangulation technique and the differential range estimates. The method also includes combining the first location estimate and the second location estimate to determine an overall location estimate of the target device.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A base station (BS) includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor regulates a transmit power in a direction of an earth station or a predefined receiver by: calculating a power flux density for the BS to the earth station or the predefined receiver; calculating an equivalent antenna gain for other base stations; calculating a directional power back-off level for the other base stations with respect to the earth station or the predefined receiver; generating a restricted precoding matrix indicator based on the calculated directional power back-off level; generating an N1-N2 bitmap for the BS; and applying the N1-N2 bitmap for signal transmission to at least one UE. The N1-N2 bitmap is generated based on: physical parameters of the earth station of the predefined receiver; physical parameters of the BS; an operator input metric; or restricted precoding matrix indicator.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting network service types by grouping together applications that have similar latency requirement and data characteristics to form a service type. Machine learning algorithms may be used to detect the traffic pattern in the traffic stream by using features extracted from packet information and optionally additional sensor information. Subsequently, the output of the machine learning module may go through a post-processing process that may employ different techniques to use current prediction and past predictions to make a final decision about the network service type.

    Abstract: A system and method of a base station are configured to enable a multi-shot network parameter optimization. The method includes generating one or more specified Key Performance Indicators (KPI) constraints based on a selected set of KPIs. The method also includes adjusting common beam parameters to tune a common beam based on the selected set of KPIs. The common beam is tuned to satisfy the one or more specified KPI constraints. The method also includes adjusting handover A2 and A5 parameters based on searching within a three-dimensional space defined by specified A2 and A5 thresholds. The method further includes transmitting one or more signals based on the adjusted the common beam parameters and the adjusted handover A2 and A5 parameters.

    Abstract: An indoor positioning method includes scanning for registered Wi-Fi nodes with known coordinates to generate a list of the registered Wi-Fi nodes. The method also includes performing a ranging operation by (i) selecting nodes to range with from the list of the registered Wi-Fi nodes, and (ii) processing ranging responses from the selected nodes to generate a series of distance measurements. The method further includes obtaining a series of sensor readings generated by one or more inertial measurement units (IMUs) of a device. The method also includes estimating a position of the device based on the series of distance measurements and the series of sensor readings using first and second filtering operations that are performed in parallel.
