    Abstract: In a first embodiment, a system may be disclosed, comprising: a plurality of RAN nodes, each with X2 and E2 interface capability; an X2 interface gateway in X2 communication with each of the plurality of RAN nodes; and a near Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (near-RT RIC) in communication with the gateway via an E2 interface, The X2 interface gateway provides E2 interface gatewaying for the plurality of RAN nodes with the near-RT RIC, thereby enabling the near-RT RIC to avoid an individual E2 protocol connection with each of the plurality of RAN nodes.

    Abstract: A method for combining two radio access network (RAN) cells into a virtual cell is disclosed, comprising: at a coordinating node, assigning a virtual cell identifier for a virtual cell, assigning a plurality of base stations to the virtual cell, and scheduling resources for a user equipment (UE) at each base station in the virtual cell; and at a base station of the plurality of base stations, constructing a signal containing two cell identifiers, the two cell identifiers being the virtual cell identifier and a physical cell identifier of the base station, and sending the signal to the UE, thereby improving performance for the UE at a cell edge of the first base station and of the second base station.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for reducing processor utilization at a cellular base station, comprising: sending a number of random access preambles in a System Information Block (SIB) that may be less than 64; subtracting the number of random access preambles from 64 to obtain a ceiling of dedicated preambles; and using root sequences to generate a number of dedicated preambles less than or equal to the number of random access preambles, thereby reducing processor utilization relative to generating 64 preambles.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for client-server reconciliation for wireless telecommunication networks, comprising: determining, by a client system in a Radio Access Network (RAN) connected to a server in the RAN, a need for reconciliation with the server; terminating an HTTP connection; flushing a buffer; creating a current snapshot of the client system; sending the current snapshot to the server with an identifier for a particular server process; buffering a message at the client during reconciliation; sending a reconciliation complete message to the server to indicate that process has been completed and all the data from the client has been delivered to the server; and sending, by the client after the reconciliation is complete, the message that was buffered during the reconciliation to the server.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing distributed paging optimization, the method comprising: connecting a group of radio access network nodes, each supporting multiple small cells, to a gateway which acts as a virtual core network to the multiple small cells and acts as an eNodeB virtualizing the multiple small cells toward a core network; sending, by the gateway, in response to a paging request from the core network, a plurality of recommended cell IDs or base stations using a private information element (IE) in a paging request; and sending paging requests in response to the paging request from the core network to only the plurality of cell IDs or base stations recommended by the gateway.

    Abstract: A method, computer-readable media and system for providing Random Access Channel (RACH) response preamble prioritization are presented. In one embodiment a method includes receiving, from a RACH receiver at a Preamble Prioritization Element (PPE), a list of detected preambles from a plurality of User Equipment (UE) devices, the preambles having a configured priority for different preamble groups; providing, by the PPE, an ordered prioritized list of the detected preambles; and forwarding, by the PPE to a RACH response element, a predetermined number of detected preambles from the ordered prioritized list.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a 4G-5G Open RAN User Plane Path. In one embodiment a method includes keeping, by a Distributed Unit (DU)/Centralized Unit (CU)-User Plane (UP), a list of local switch enabled subscribers; receiving an uplink data packet for a local switch enabled subscriber from a source device; comparing , by the DU/CU-UP, if a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address matches with any of IP addresses in the local switch enabled subscriber destination device IP addresses; and when the destination IP address matches, then switching by the DU/CU-UP the traffic and sending the data packet as a downlink traffic towards the destination device.
