    Abstract: There is a need for a non-RT RIC to cause E2 sessions to be reset at a node. Accordingly, a system is described comprising a non-Real Time (RT) Radio Area Network (RAN) Intelligent controller (RIC), wherein the non-RT RIC further comprises an operations administration maintenance (OAM) server; a near-Real Time (RT) Radio Area Network (RAN) Intelligent controller (RIC) in communication with the non-RT RIC; and an E2 node in communication with the near-RT RIC providing connectivity to one or more User Equipments (UEs). The OAM server may be configured to periodically perform assessment of the E2 node. The near-RT RIC may be configured with an application programming interface (API) to enable the non-RT RIC, based on an assessment by the OAM server, to perform an E2 reset of E2 sessions at the E2 node.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for improved tracking area planning and handling, comprising: assigning a single tracking area code to a plurality of eNodeBs at a messaging concentrator gateway, the messaging concentrator gateway situated in a network between the plurality of eNodeBs and the core network; storing, at the messaging concentrator gateway, at least one indicator of a last known location of a user equipment (UE) other than the single tracking area code; receiving a paging message from the core network at the messaging concentrator gateway for a UE; and performing a paging sequence using the at least one indicator to identify a set of eNodeBs to page the UE, thereby allowing larger tracking area list sizes to be used without increasing signaling traffic between the radio access network and the core network.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) with mesh access. A multi Radio Access Technology (RAT) base station gateway having a MPTCP proxy, proxies an initial MPTCP connection from a User Equipment (UE). The multi-RAT base station gateway determines if the UE is capable of MPTCP to provide MPTCP. When the UE is capable of MPTCP, then the multi-Rat base station provides a Wi-Fi connection and an LTE connection. When the UE is not capable of MPTCP, then the multi-RAT base station provides an LTE connection.
