Abstract: Disclosed is creation of a very narrow bandwidth part (BWP), referred to herein as a virtual BWP. The virtual BWP is created within an operating channel that is not supported by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) current standards (e.g., below 5 MHz). This enables a wireless network to be even more flexible in supporting a variety of use cases. In particular, the network artificially creates a small virtual BWP and assigns it to users without requiring any explicit signaling to the user for creating the virtual BWP. The virtual BWPs will limit the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) data region, the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a given user which can be associated with slicing.

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: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive channel, beamforming, and traffic shaping management in a network including configuring an element management system to monitor, via a distribution unit (DU) and/or a central unit (CU) power and channel traffic at a plurality of cell sites in a network; applying, in response to a detection of a power outage at a cell site, at least one power saving schema including adaptive channel management, adaptive beam management, and/or adaptive traffic management, wherein the systems and methods incrementally reduce power consumption at the cell site by choking at least on channel based on a level of network traffic congestion. The systems and methods further limits users for congested channels, determines a relationship between power reduction as a result of the choking, arranges power to beamforming systems based on the choking, adjusts traffic of one or more applications, and move users of choked channels.
