A system described herein may receive respective measures of load associated with first and second cells of a wireless network. The system may receive a measures of utilization associated with the first and second cells, as determined by a User Equipment ('UE') that is connected to the first cell. The system may determine whether the UE should be handed over from the first cell to the second cell, and further based on the measures of load associated with the first and second cells, the measures of utilization associated with the first and second cells, as determined by the UE. The system may cause the UE to be handed over from the first cell to the second cell based on the determining.

Systems and methods for dynamic handover threshold adjustment based on cell load in a wireless network

In some implementations, a device may determine a signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) value associated with a communication channel between a user equipment and the device. The device may select, based on the SINR value, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value associated with the communication channel or a sounding reference signal (SRS) from the UE to determine a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) configuration for transmitting data to the UE. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the CQI value based on the SINR value being a first value. The device may determine the MIMO configuration according to the SRS based on the SINR value being a second value that is different than the first value. The device may transmit the data to the UE using the MIMO configuration.

Systems and methods for determining a massive multiple-input and multiple-output configuration for transmitting data

A device may determine traffic information of a user equipment (UE) operating in a first operating mode. The first operating mode may be associated with the UE monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), via a first bandwidth part (BWP), according to a first rate. The device may determine, based on the traffic information, that the UE is to operate in a different operating mode including one of: a second operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the first BWP, according to a second rate exceeding the first rate, a third operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via a second BWP less than the first BWP, according to the second rate, or a fourth operating mode associated with monitoring the PDCCH, via the second BWP, according to the first rate. The device may cause the UE to transition to the different operating mode.

Systems and methods for transitioning between operating modes associated with bandwidth parts for efficient battery consumption

A system for simulating a wireless communication network over a wired network may comprise a plurality of physical UEs, one or more RANs, and a channel condition emulator. The plurality of UEs may be coupled to one another through the wired network. The one or more RANs may be simulated in software to simulate data transmissions between the plurality of UEs. The channel condition emulator may be simulated in software to derive channel conditions for each of the plurality of UEs based on their current location. The channel condition emulator may further provide the channel conditions to the plurality of UEs and the one or more RANs.

Systems and methods for performing a diagnostic analysis of a wireless telecommunication network

New Radio (NR)-aware LTE scheduling is provided. An access station for a radio access network includes a first scheduling function. The first scheduling function identifies a User Equipment (UE) device that has a first active wireless connection and a second active wireless connection to the radio access network. The first scheduling function determines that expanded coverage is need for an uplink transmission for the second active wireless connection and obtains uplink scheduling information for the second active wireless connection. The first scheduling function adjusts uplink scheduling for the first active wireless connection such that power sharing is prioritized for uplink time intervals of the second active wireless connection over overlapping uplink time intervals of the first active wireless connection.

The disclosed embodiments are directed toward improvements in dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) between cellular network technologies. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising initiating scheduling for a resource in a slot and determining a neighboring base station associated with user equipment (UE). The method then determines a type of interference associated with the neighboring base station and the slot and identifies an outer loop link adaptation (OLLA) value associated with the type of interference. An effective data rate is calculated based on the OLLA value and the method completes scheduling using the effective data rate.

Interference avoidance based on multiple outer loop link adaptation (OLLA) processes

An apparatus, computer program, and method are provided for setting a power of a cell node based on cell node gradient information. Cell node gradient information is generated based on a multiple-codeword channel quality indicator (CQI), utilizing a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)-capable cell node in a network configured for communicating with a plurality of MIMO-capable user equipment. Additionally, other cell node gradient information is received that is generated for a plurality of other MIMO-capable cell nodes. The generated cell node gradient information and the other cell node gradient information are processed. Further, a power of the MIMO-capable cell node is set, based on the processing.

The claimed subject matter is directed to defining a framework that enables wireless communicability between base stations for maintenance and configuration purposes, even while disconnected from an operator network, and/or deployed in the field. Embodiments are particularly applicable in the cases of small-cell base transceiver stations deployed in inconvenient, secluded, elevated and/or difficult to reach locations. The small cell base transceiver station is operable to communicate wirelessly to wireless terminals and mobile computing devices by emulating select functionality from dedicated components in an operator network.
