    摘要: Advances in wireless technologies have resulted in the ability of a 5G communication system to support multiple wireless communication applications. Each of these applications requires special handling in all layers and more so in scheduler and physical layer. The present disclosure presents embodiments of dynamical creating a computation instance with a slice of resources allocated for each scheduling input. Each computation instance may be independently managed, controlled, and customized according to the specific requirements of the corresponding scheduling input. Such a dynamic resource allocation allows large number of slices in PHY layer. Furthermore, when overloading happens, one scheduling inputs may be migrated from one distribution unit (DU) to another DU without interruption for end users during scheduling migration. Accordingly, efficiency and robustness of a 5G communication system may be improved to serve multiple wireless communication applications.

    摘要: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, there is requirement to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi, on a single hardware together. Typical solution includes reserving some computing resources for specific wireless standards. Such a resource strategy may not be optimized or efficient according to the real needs for various wireless standards. The present disclosure presents embodiments of using a unified resource controller to take multiple scheduling inputs across various wireless standards, allocate resources among a plurality of configurable processing units, and manage hardware components for data path accelerations including forward error correction, and signal processing implementation. The multiplexing multiple wireless technologies based on spectral utilization may improve the efficiency in power consumption and hardware resources utilization.

    摘要: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system, e.g., a system on a chip (SoC). Such an implementation may require simultaneously receiving and transmitting signals corresponding to each wireless standard and also signal processing according to respective requirements. Typical solutions involve providing separate hardware blocks specific to each wireless standard, which in turn requires more area on the SoC and consumes more power. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a unified hardware that may process signals across different standards in both a transmitting direction and a receiving direction simultaneously.

    摘要: A reliable wireless communication system needs good wireless signal detection and interference management. Traditional thinking for interference management mostly relies on interference cancellation or receiver design. In such a design, an interference issue occurs when a receiver is incapable of handling it. Various interference management embodiments are presented in the disclosure. Using HARQ retransmission incorporated with parameter changes, interference management may be improved through interference source control for more effective signal detection and interference management. Additionally, early termination parameters for decoding operation may be learned and implemented separately or jointly with HARQ retransmission. Furthermore, estimated interference power may be improved using machine-learning algorithm based on decoding statistics of the decoder. Biasing for the estimated interference power may be implemented separately or jointly with early termination parameter learning and/or HARQ retransmission request with parameter changes to improve signal detection and interference management.

    摘要: In a grant based system, a user equipment (UE) sends data in an uplink in a request-grant process. The UE first sending a scheduling request, a gNodeB processing the request and scheduling a grant sometime in future, then UE then either sending data if the grant is sufficient or requesting for another grant with more capacity to accommodate data sending. Such a proceeding could cause serious latency in network access. Described in the present patent disclosure are embodiments to reduce the access time by giving proactive grants through inspecting downlink (DL) data sent to the UE or uplink data being transmitted from the UE. The uplink data may be predictive since it maybe in lieu of requirement for sending a TCP acknowledgement for the DL TCP data scheduled earlier. For voice calls, a ML system for system may be deployed to predict when proactive UL grants may be given.

    摘要: System and method embodiments are disclosed for high availability management for open radio access network (O-RAN). The O-RAN may be deployed on cloud with the O-CU deployed on a region cloud, O-RUs deployed on a cell site O-Cloud, and O-DUs deployed on an edge cloud. Each O-RU may comprise one or more RF clusters, computation clusters, and interface clusters. O-RU instances and O-DU instances may be instantiated with redundancy on the cell site O-Cloud and on the edge cloud, respectively, to serve one or more users. Local and central high-availability (HA) managers may be used to monitor O-RU instance performance for failure prediction/detection and to monitor internal states of each O-DU instance. In response to O-RU instance failure or O-DU internal states beyond/below state thresholds, new O-RU or O-DU instances may be instantiated as replacement instances for O-Cloud high availability management.

    摘要: System and method embodiments are disclosed to improve radio access network coverage area, increase throughput, and reduce power consumption in user equipment (UE). Downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) are disaggregated in one or more radio units (RUs). A UE receives DL data packets from a DL RU and uploads UL data packets to a UL RU disaggregated from the DL RU. The UL RU couples to a distributed unit (DU) directly or via the DL RU such that an acknowledgment or error message for successful or unsuccessful reception of the UL data packets may be sent back to the UE via the DL RU. The DU may track a UE motion trajectory and re-map UL traffic from one UL RU to another UL RU. Embodiments of DL/UL disaggregation may improve power efficiency and be advantageous for various applications such as internet of things, cyber physical systems, 5G communications, etc.
