Abstract:
An Open Radio Access Network Category B radio unit (O-RU) of a wireless network associates, for a first extended antenna carrier identifier (eAxC_Id) corresponding to a layer 0 precoding layer identifier (layerlD), the first eAxC_Id with one or more second eAxC_Ids. Each second eAxC_Id corresponds to a non -layer 0 precoding layerlD. The O-RU receives, for a user equipment (UE), a control plane message of Section Type 1 or 3. The message includes an extension type (ExtType) 3 first data layer, along with the first eAxC_Id in a transport header. The ExtType 3 first data layer indicates a number of precoding layers. The O-RU then precodes user plane data for downlink physical resource blocks allocated to the UE using the layer 0 precoding layerlD of the first eAxC_Id, and each associated non-layer 0 precoding layerlD of the one more second eAxC_Ids required to complete the number of precoding layers.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an open radio access network (O-RAN) distributed unit (O-DU) may generate, at an O-DU application that executes on the O-DU, a first message that does not make use of an O-DU accelerator of the O-DU that is in-line with the O-DU application. The O-DU may transmit, from the O-DU application to an O-RAN radio unit (O-RU), the first message via a passthrough of the O-DU accelerator, wherein the first message does not make use of the O-DU accelerator based at least in part on a payload of the first message being transferred unchanged by the O-DU accelerator to the O-RU. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which a mobile terminal having limited power is able to communicate with a land-based network via a low-rate satellite communication link. To achieve VoIP communications via a low-rate link, link-layer assisted zero-header header compression techniques are employed to reduce VoIP packet overheads. Additionally, overheads introduced by link layer protocol layers are eliminated or reduced. A transmitting device strips RTP / UDP / IP header information from a stream of VoIP packets. The transmitting device then sends an initial context message providing the RTP / UDP / IP header information. The stripped zero-header VoIP packets are then transmitted via a satellite relay. A receiving device uses the initial context information to reconstruct the headers for the zero-header VoIP packets.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating simplified switching at an RU are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at an RU includes transmitting, to a DU, capability information indicating support of endpoint groups, each endpoint group associated with a respective set of RU endpoints. The example method also includes receiving an eAxC message from the DU based on the capability information, the eAxC message including a DU port identifier, a band sector identifier, a component carrier identifier, and an RU port identifier. The example method also includes using a first portion of the RU port identifier to identify an endpoint group, the respective set of RU endpoints of the endpoint group associated with a set of characteristics. Additionally, the example method includes using a second portion of the RU port identifier to index the eAxC message to an RU endpoint of the endpoint group.
Abstract:
Managing, by a Handover Management Component (102) embedded in a vehicle (104) comprising an antenna system with a beamforming component (114), a handover of two or more modems implementing the RRC wireless protocol (106), and embedded in the vehicle, including: receiving at least one message (304) indicative of at least one measurement report of radio conditions from at least one modem of the two or more modems; determining (308), based on the at least one message, whether to handover the two or more modems from a serving base station (110) to a target base station (112); and upon determining to handover the two or more modems from the serving base station to the target base station, indicating (310) to each of the two or more modems to send (312, 314) to the serving base station (110) a measurement report configured to trigger a respective handover procedure from the serving base station (110) to the target base station (112).
Abstract:
A communication system is provided that allows a mobile terminal with an EVDO interface to perform VoIP communications via a satellite. The 1xEVDO physical layer frames and vocoder frames are synchronized and aligned to a known periodic time boundary for efficient transmission. A reverse link transmission rate is adjusted to match a VoIP packet source rate and operate the reverse link transmission channel to a satellite continuously. The reverse link transmission channel from a mobile terminal to a satellite may operate continuously and at a lower channel transmission rate to reduce the peak power amplifier power requirement. The higher layer time-out periods are increased to account for propagation delay to/from a satellite relay. A physical layer retransmit mechanism is disabled to ignore ACKs/ NACKs when sending VoIP packets via a satellite relay. A different channel code may be selective applied depending on the size/type of packets being transmitted.
