    Abstract: This invention relates to an efficient and simple best effort UL FFR, describing how to effectively partition the bandwidth (BW) into regions and how to allocate different UEs into those partitions. In one embodiment, a method of Uplink (UL) Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) includes classifying a User Equipment (UE) as either a cell-edge UE or a cell-center UE; examining each UE before each UL scheduling and updating a status of the UE that was examiner; and choosing a cell-edge segment for each cell, a cell-edge segment including a starting SB index and an end SB index, wherein an SB is a group of Resource Blocks (RBs), wherein the cell edge segment is defined using the physical cell indicator (PCI) as an input.

    Abstract: A method and system for performing Over-The-Air (OTA) testing for 5G New Radio (NR) beamforming is presented. In one embodiment the method includes transmitting, by only the User Equipments (UEs) U and Sx, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing UL Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) that are orthogonal to each other during Uplink (UL) subframes; performing, by a gNB, channel estimation in the same UL subframe, precoding matrix computation, and antenna elements weighting coefficient computations; transmitting, by the gNB in a subsequent Downlink (DL) subframe, known data streams to UEs U and Sx using the massive MU-MIMO beamforming coefficients; collecting by the host PC, the IQ samples from the UE U and all the victim UEs Vx in the DL subframe; and evaluating a performance of the beam that was meant for UE U.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is disclosed for port reduction, comprising: calculating, at a distributed unit (DU), beamforming weights based on received DMRS channel estimates; sending the calculated beamforming weights to a radio unit (RU); applying, at the RU, port reduction to DMRS symbols based on the calculated beamforming weights; compressing IQ data and received DMRS symbol data to compensate for an underlying bandwidth increase, thereby enabling beamforming at the RU. PUSCH data may be compressed. Beamforming weight calculations may be performed in the O-DU. Beamforming weight calculations may be provided to the L2 scheduler. BFP format compression may be performed. Channel information may be compressed for non-signal data. DMRS compression may be performed at the CU. The DMRS pattern may be received from the control plane. An equalizer weight calculation may be performed to merge a plurality of CSI estimates from different RUs for a given user to calculate joint equalization. The method may further comprise applying, at the RU, port reduction to both PUSCH and DMRS symbols. Beamforming may be performed for uplink, for downlink, or both.
