Aspects provided herein provide methods, systems, and a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer instructions for dynamic slot reconfiguration for time division duplex nodes in a network. The method begins with monitoring a set of geospatial hex bins for a predetermined time for data utilization. At least one geospatial hex bin in the set of geospatial hex bins is identified as having a non-typical data utilization pattern. The non-typical data utilization pattern may be either a heavy uplink (UL) data pattern or a heavy downlink (DL) data pattern. The slot pattern used by the at least one geospatial hex bin in the set of geospatial hex bins with the non-typical data utilization patterns is dynamically reconfigured. The reconfiguring of the slot pattern may allocate at least one flexible slot to uplink or downlink symbols.

Dynamic reconfiguration of time division duplexing slot formats to optimize user experience in non-typical traffic scenarios

Aspects of the present disclosure a method for dynamic steering across non-standalone and standalone network architectures based on uplink throughput requirements is provided. The method begins with determining if at least one UE is active on an SA layer. A determination is then made whether the UE has only non-guaranteed bit rate data bearers with no voice and delay sensitive bearers. The uplink buffer threshold for the at least one UE is then compared with an operator defined uplink buffer threshold. Next, a comparison is made with an uplink throughput estimate on the SA and an uplink throughput estimate for the at least one UE on an NSA layer is made. If the NSA layer has a higher uplink throughput estimate than the SA layer, a dynamic handover is performed from the SA layer to the NSA layer.
