    Abstract: A method for performing a software update that reduces down time in a Radio Access Network (RAN) is disclosed. A first computing device receives first Distributed Unit (DU) configuration information including an address of a first radio unit (RU) device. The first computing device cause the first RU device to stores an address of the first computing device as a value of a configuration parameter. After a second computing device installs software, the second computing device receives the first DU configuration information including the address of the first RU device. The first computing device receives an instruction to stop data transmission to the first RU device. The second computing device causes the first RU device stores an address of the second computing device as the value of the configuration parameter. The second computing device receives an instruction to start data transmission to the first RU device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adaptive bandwidth (BW) management configuring an element management control unit including a set of distribution/central units (DU/CU) for monitoring power and traffic loads at a plurality of cell sites in a network; communicating with a BW management unit coupled to the element management system to adapt BW for users at cell sites by moving users to a set of smaller bandwidth parts (BWPs) at a cell site in response to a set of conditions of AC power outages and reduced traffic loads detected by the BW management unit, and in response to at least one of the detected conditions, instructing based on data from the DU/CU to the BW management unit to move user traffic to a designated lower BWP of the set of smaller BWPs at the cell site while shutting down other BWPs at the cell site to save the power of an operating cell site.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for improving cell coverage are presented. A cellular network can define a first bandwidth part and a second bandwidth part to be implemented concurrently by a base station of the cellular network. The first bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part do not overlap and may be separated by a guard band. The first bandwidth part can have a greater bandwidth and greater sub-carrier spacing than the second bandwidth part. The cellular network can determine a first set of user equipment to use the first bandwidth part for communication with the base station and a second set of user equipment to use the second bandwidth part for communication with the base station. Communication with the first set of user equipment using the first bandwidth part and the second set of user equipment using the second bandwidth part may be performed.
