Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for signaling support that define an open and extensible end-to-end network architecture. One method includes extracting, by an interface to a base station system, real-time and context related information from a radio access network, and transmitting the extracted real-time and context related information to an interface to a transport system.
Abstract:
Systems and techniques for negotiated control of multipoint coordination. A first device (such as a central entity or base station) signals a second device regarding its desire to assert control over, or readiness to accept control by, the second device, with respect to coordinated radio transmission. The negotiation may include, for example, acceptance of control, rejection of control, specification of resources subject to or exempt from control, and priority-based decisions to override or refrain from overriding rejections. Coordinated transmission is then conducted based on the outcome of the negotiation.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods in a communication system are provided. A method comprises receiving from network instructions of how to control multi-user multiple input multiple output connections maintained by one or more radio access nodes, the connections utilising one or more slices. One or more radio access nodes perform, based at least in part on the received network instructions, multi-user pairing of terminal devices of the same or different slices, and determine, based at least in part on the received network instructions, slice-based quota taking multi-user pairing and interference arising from paired allocations into account.
Abstract:
According to an example embodiment, a method may include receiving, by a controller from a radio access network (RAN) node within a wireless network, at least one of a neural network support information, and a measurement information that includes one or more measurements by the radio access network node or one or more measurements by a wireless device that is in communication with the radio access network node; determining, by the controller based on the at least one of the neural network support information and the measurement information, a configuration of a neural network for the radio access network node; an sending, by the controller to the radio access network node, neural network configuration information that indicates the configuration of the neural network for the radio access network node.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for hardware acceleration for a frequency domain scheduler. An example method includes receiving an instruction from a processor core to process a job for determining an allocation of a set of resources to one or more users, the set of resources corresponding to a transmission layer in a transmission time interval; processing the job by determining which of the one or more users is to be allocated on each of the respective resources in the set based on a first array stored in a memory associated with a metric of each of one or more users for each of the resources in the set, and a second array stored in the memory associated with a buffer size of each of the one or more users; and in response to successfully completing the job, sending an indication of the determined allocation to the processor core.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes abeam selection hardware accelerator for determining a set of beams to be used for data scheduling by a wireless node for a transmission time interval, the beam selection hardware accelerator being configured to: receive a beam information and information indicating an angular separation of beams for a set of selected beams; create a graph based on the beam information and the minimum angular separation; select a set of beams, out of a plurality of beams, as a maximum weight independent set of beams based on the created graph; and provide a notification of the selected set of beams.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory storing computer readable instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions, which configure the processor to receive data/attributes from a radio access network, RAN, related to a carrier aggregation operation performed by the RAN; determine at least one adjustment to the carrier aggregation operation based on the received data/attributes; and send the at least one adjustment to the RAN.
Abstract:
UE-related measurements taken on a Pcell in a wireless communication system are formed into a set of data. The Pcell overlaps with Scell(s). The UE-related measurements on the P cell are for a specific UE in the Pcell. Using a ML algorithm applied to the set of data, achievable channel quality is predicted for the specific UE for each of the Scell(s). The predicted achievable channel qualities are output for the specific UE to be used for Scell selection. At a RAN node, the set of data is sent toward an S cell prediction module for the module to determine information suitable to enable Scell selection for the specific UE. The RAN node receives information from the module allowing the RAN node to inform the selected UE of Scell(s) to be used for Scell selection for the specific UE. A node may train the ML algorithm using UE-related measurements on the Pcell.
Abstract:
In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there a method and apparatus to perform at least establishing, by a network node of a communication network, one or more connections over one or more interfaces with another network node of the communication network, and based on the establishing, communicating over the one or more connections, information associated with multiple slices of the communication network.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising, at a first base station in response to a request including information relating to one or more resource allocations of at least a first cell, causing information corresponding to at least one of the resource allocations to be sent, the information indicative of a scheduling benefit obtained by a cell associated with the first base station if the resource is allocated to the at least one first cell.
