    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching in a cellular network (e.g., a 5G network). Example embodiments include systems and methods for: the RAN functions supporting providing measuring and reporting particular items for dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching with a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching without a network intelligence layer; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting latency/bandwidth criteria; RAN dynamic carrier aggregation and dual connectivity switching based on availability of an inter-DU link and meeting resource criteria; and prioritization for using CA instead of DC based on CQI information reported from UEs.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards an adaptive DU scheduler that increases the user experiences on higher channel bandwidths (BWs) while ensuring no drops for Voice over New Radio (VoNR) or other high priority traffic. Example embodiments include systems and methods for an adaptive distributed unit (DU) scheduler in a wireless telecommunication network, such as a wireless 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods that include: a central scheduler for maximizing overall throughput based on received parameter values; maximizing the overall cell site throughput; an intelligence layer that has an artificial intelligence and/or machine learning (AI/ML) model that increases the performance for all the cells by sending info to central scheduler for each of the cells; an intelligence layer that has an AI/ML models for each site type based on the traffic distribution across each cell; centralized RAN pooling; a containerized DU server with master a controller pod controlling individual cell pods; and a containerized DU server with a DU common scheduler managing all the cells.

    Abstract: Example embodiments are directed towards detecting a failure of a fifth-generation New Radio (5G NR) cellular telecommunication network containerized network function (CNF) running within a dedicated node group of cloud compute instances hosting a plurality of CNFs of a wireless telecommunication service provider or a failure of a specific cloud compute instance hosting the CNF within the node group. In response to the detection of a failure of the CNF within the node group or a failure of the specific cloud compute instance hosting the CNF within the node group, automatically switching to host the CNF on a spare cloud compute instance within the node group dedicated to the wireless telecommunication service provider and pre-provisioned to host CNFs of a same type as the CNF for the wireless telecommunication service provider.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for managing user experiences during cellular telecommunication outages within a wireless telecommunication network, such as a wireless 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for managing user experiences during a cellular telecommunication network outage involving network communication failure detection and performing different recovery actions in response to detecting a failure in communication between certain telecommunication network components and/or failure of certain network links. For example, the system may perform different recovery actions in response to the failure in communication being due to a detected inactive network link to the central unit control plane (CU-CP) versus the CU-CP itself being initially indicated as inactive

    Abstract: Disclosed is creation of a very narrow bandwidth part (BWP), referred to herein as a virtual BWP. The virtual BWP is created within an operating channel that is not supported by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) current standards (e.g., below 5 MHz). This enables a wireless network to be even more flexible in supporting a variety of use cases. In particular, the network artificially creates a small virtual BWP and assigns it to users without requiring any explicit signaling to the user for creating the virtual BWP. The virtual BWPs will limit the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) data region, the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a given user which can be associated with slicing.
