    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive channel and traffic shaping management in a network including configuring an element management control unit including a set of distribution (DU) and central units (DU/CU) for monitoring power and channel traffic at a plurality of cell sites in a network; transmitting and receiving by a scheduler unit, data traffic data of user equipment (UE); receiving control data, by the scheduler unit, about congested network channels in Uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) transmissions from the UE; applying channel management solutions, by the scheduler unit, at a cell site to choke off congested channels via a schedule schema based on the control data about the traffic amounts on a channel; applying, by a control unit coupled to the scheduler unit to manage network traffic at the cell site, adaptive traffic management solutions to shape network data traffic on select channels based on the control data of traffic type on the channel; and iteratively applying, by the control unit, the channel and traffic management solutions at the cell site based on data received by the DU/CU of the power and channel traffic condition.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving telecommunications services by intelligently deploying radio access network components and redundant links within a data center hierarchy to satisfy latency, power, availability, and quality of service requirements for one or more network slices are described. The radio access network components may include virtualized distributed units (VDUs) and virtualized centralized units (VCUs). To satisfy a latency requirement for a network slice, various components of a radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to user equipment. To satisfy a power requirement for the network slice, various components of the radio access network may need to be redeployed closer to core network components. Over time, the components of the radio access network may be dynamically reassigned to different layers within a data center hierarchy in order to satisfy changing latency requirements and power requirements for the network slice.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching in a cellular network (e.g., a 5G network). Example embodiments include systems and methods for: the RAN functions supporting providing measuring and reporting particular items for dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching with a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching without a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting latency/bandwidth criteria; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting resource criteria; and prioritization for using CA instead of DC based on CQI information reported from UEs.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to utilize user device self-reported quality metrics and machine learning mechanisms to optimize management of user device mobility in a cellular network. Cells in the network obtain quality data for one or more user devices in communication with the cells, including channel-quality-indicator values, reference-signal-received-power values, and reference-signal-received-quality values. The quality data is processed by a machine learning mechanism to generate a separate quality report for each cell. In response to receiving a request to handover communications for a target user device, the quality reports are utilized to select a cell that is predicted to provide the best quality communications for the target user device.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein provide pooling of radio access network (RAN) resources in a disaggregated RAN in a manner that enables dynamic re-homing of RAN functions with minimal disruption to stateful communications. The RAN is a hierarchical arrangement of RAN units, each having an associated state at any given time. A RAN state pooling system (RSPS) is in communication with a pool of the RAN units via a high-speed communication channel. The RSPS is configured to maintain an updated repository of the state information for the RAN units in its serviced pool. In the event of re-homing from a first RAN unit to a second RAN unit in the pool (e.g., due to the first RAN unit failing, becoming overloaded, etc.), the RSPS provides the second RAN unit with the updated state information for the first RAN unit to facilitate a stateful re-homing.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media facilitate adaptive beamforming in a cellular network. One or more signals indicative of one or more locations of a first set of one or more radio units and/or a first set of user equipment may be processed. A first set of beamforming specifications may be determined based at least in part on the one or more locations of the first set of one or more radio units and/or the first set of user equipment. The first set of beamforming specifications may correspond to a first set of one or more beamforming patterns. The first set of beamforming specifications may be communicated to instruct the first set of one or more radio units to direct signal transmission in conformance with the first set of one or more beamforming patterns.
