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 are described for automated sector creation in greenfield physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, a network operator is granted licenses to use multiple spectrum blocks in multiple geographic regions for which the network operator does not currently have physical infrastructure. An RF network design defines a number of template antennas located at template site locations to meet a link budget over a target coverage area. For each template site location, embodiments can automatically compute sectors based on the associated template antennas and local spectrum licensing information. The computed sectors can effectively define a physical network deployment, including locations and configurations for sector antennas, by which the network operator can provide a desired quality of coverage to subscribers in the target coverage area.

Abstract: A method of controlling ongoing power consumption at a cellular base station includes determining a usage characteristic of the cellular base station, and preparing a notification of the usage characteristic. The method also includes sending the notification to a cloud computing network so as to be recognized by an artificial intelligence cellular base station management program. The method further includes receiving a power consumption instruction from the cloud computer network when the artificial intelligence cellular base station management program evaluates that the notification meets a criteria for changing power consumption at the cellular base station, and effectuating a change in power consumption at the cellular base station by executing the power consumption instruction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for identifying backup candidate cell sites for a primary cell site are described. A backup candidate cell site may comprise a cell site that is available to replace or support a primary cell site that serves a coverage area in the event that the primary cell site fails or experiences a significant reduction in signal transmission capability. The backup candidate cell sites may be identified based on a distance between a backup candidate cell site and the primary cell site, a minimum distance between the backup candidate cell site and one or more hosted sites that comprise sources of signal interference, and a buffer range between the antenna height for the primary cell site and the backup candidate cell site. Height conflicts occurring between cell site antennas and clutter within proximity of the antennas may be identified.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automated detection of border conflicts in physical radiofrequency (RF) communication network infrastructures. For example, proposed sector antennas in a greenfield physical network deployment may be licensed to radiate in certain spectrum blocks in the mapped licensed geographic regions (mLGR) where they are located, but the licenses may not permit radiated power in those spectrum blocks to cross into adjacent mLGRs. Embodiments compute radiation contours for the sector antennas indicating estimated local power levels computed based on antenna characteristics of the sector antennas and propagation model data that defines geographic morphologies for the mLGRs. The radiation contours are analyzed to detect any border conflict conditions where the estimated local power levels exceed defined threshold radiation levels in unlicensed regions. A culprit set of the sector antennas can be output to indicate those responsible for detected border conflict conditions.

Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards detecting a failure of one or more of a CU-UP pod and a CU-CP pod running on a first cloud compute instance within a node group of a cluster being hosted on a first cloud compute instance. In response to the detection of a failure of one or more of a CU-UP pod or a CU-CP pod of a node group within a cluster being hosted on a first cloud compute instance, the system automatically switches from the one or more pods for which failure was detected to one or more standby pods running a second cloud compute instance with user equipment (UE) context corresponding to the one or more pods for which failure was detected.
