    Abstract: Arrangements involving a multi-tenant network management system are presented. A first virtual wireless network can be operated as part of a wireless network. The first virtual wireless network can be mapped to a first set of operating level-of-service parameters. A second virtual wireless network can also be operated as part of the wireless network on behalf of a third entity. The second virtual wireless network can be mapped to a second set of level-of-service operating parameters. A traffic monitoring system may be present that monitors and compiles traffic-related statistics for the first virtual wireless network and the second virtual wireless network separately. A virtual network management system can use a machine learning arrangement to determine how to modify properties of the first virtual wireless network to satisfy the first set of level-of-service operating parameters.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for communication link adaptation and communication networks involving ground-based user equipment and non-terrestrial stations. A communication is received indicating signal quality of a first signal transmitted during a first transmission period and a plurality of fading losses associated with the first signal are obtained. A first fading loss and a second fading loss associated with the first signal are estimated for a future time, the first fading loss based on application of a first filter, and the second fading loss based on differences determined between the first fading loss and the plurality of fading losses. A signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio is calculated and includes at least one of the first fading loss and the second fading loss. A non-terrestrial station transmits, for a second time period, a second signal having settings determined based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio.

    Abstract: Various systems and methods for scheduling data transmissions from a base station to user equipment (UE) are presented. Channel quality indicator values that correspond to multiple UE may be determined for multiple carrier components of a cellular network's carrier aggregation. A scheduling matrix may be created that includes instantaneous data transfer rates for the UE. Elements within the scheduling matrix may be normalized by modifying instantaneous data transmission rates using average data transmission rates. Scheduling decisions for data transfers may be made for the UE based on the normalized scheduling matrix.

    Abstract: Various arrangements for performing uplink grant-free transmissions are presented herein. An instance of user equipment (UE) may determine data that is to be transmitted using a grant-free (GF) uplink transmission to a base station of a cellular network. The UE may select a first GF resource block and a second GF resource block. The UE may transmit GF transmissions that comprise: a data payload and a first pointer at the first GF resource block; and the data payload and a second pointer at the second GF resource block. The first pointer may refer to the second GF resource block, while the second pointer may refer to the first GP resource block.

    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.

    Abstract: Various arrangement of compound cellular networks that accommodate multiple cellular communication protocols are presented. A compound cellular network may connect user equipment (UE) with a data network using a first anchor point. The compound cellular network may transition the UE from the first anchor point to a second anchor point. Following the transitioning, the compound cellular network may connect the UE with the data network using the second anchor point. The UE may then be transitioned from the second anchor point to a converged anchor point of the compound cellular network. The UE may be locked to the converged anchor point while the UE is communicating with a second cellular network that communicates using the second cellular communication protocol.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to allocating cellular wireless network resources and providing access on-demand (AoD) to the cellular wireless network resources are provided. An example method includes: obtaining tenant information and historical tenant data of multiple tenants, predicting an anticipated/optimized demand of a resource of a cellular network for each tenant, determining aa anticipated/optimized unit price of the resource, providing the anticipated/optimized unit price to each tenant, receiving an actual demand from each tenant, determining that a deviation of the actual demand from the anticipated/optimized demand is of or below a predetermined threshold, allocating the resource to the tenants based on the actual demand received from each one of the plurality of tenants, and providing access to the allocated resource to one of the plurality of tenants for one or more user equipment (UE) connected to a tenant network of the tenant to use the allocated resource.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices dynamically allocate bandwidth parts in response to conditions at cell sites. An example process assigns a first plurality of slices and a second plurality of slices to communicate on a bandwidth of a cell site. The cell site operates at a first level of power consumption. A changed operating state is detected at the cell site, and the first plurality of slices is assigned to communicate on a bandwidth part of the cell site in response to detecting the changed operating state. The bandwidth part is a subset of the bandwidth. The cell site operates at a second level of power consumption in response to assigning the plurality of slices to communicate on the bandwidth part. The second level of power consumption is less than the first level of power consumption.
