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.

Passthrough of messages in an accelerator of a distributed unit

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiple operators may perform spectrum sharing using shared radio units (RUs), where the multiple different operators can access a same RU for communications with a user equipment (UE). A shared RU may receive requests for resources from two or more network nodes of two or more different network operators, for wireless resources in a first time period. The RU may determine a first resource allocation for the first time period based on different priorities of the different network operators. A first network operator may have a higher priority than a second or third network operator, and resources may be allocated to the first network operator ahead of the second or third network operators. The RU may transmit the first resource allocation to each of the different network nodes that transmitted requests for resources.

Radio unit sharing techniques in wireless communications

Techniques and apparatus for channel mapping in shared spectrum in the presence of higher tier users are provided. One technique includes evaluating, for different channel locations of orthogonal channel(s) within available spectrum, an amount of transmission limitation imposed to a group of devices due to incumbent protection, an amount of available bandwidth, and/or a maximum contiguous channel size. A channel location is assigned to each orthogonal channel, based on the evaluation. Another technique includes determining first channel location(s) in order to assign at least a first orthogonal channel within available spectrum. Each first orthogonal channel is associated with a group of devices sharing bandwidth within one or more networks. An exchange is participated in with a network entity to share a first set of information associated with the first channel locations. A determination is made whether to modify portion(s) of the first set of information, based on the exchange.

Channel mapping in shared spectrum in the presence of higher tier users

Described herein are aspects related to assigning primary channels in wireless communications. An amount of available bandwidth within a radio frequency band can be determined for shared access by a plurality of operators, where each operator operates a radio access network having one of a plurality of radio communication compatibility types, and where each radio communication compatibility type defines a set of one or more compatible radio access technologies. The amount of available bandwidth can be allocated into radio compatibility type-specific bandwidth partitions for each radio communication compatibility type based on a number of the plurality of radio communication compatibility types and a number of the plurality of operators corresponding to each radio communication compatibility type. A primary channel can be assigned within at least one of the radio compatibility type-specific bandwidth partitions to at least one operator of the number of the plurality of operators.

General authorized access (GAA) primary channel assignment for multiple operators

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive, for a citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) band, time division duplex (TDD) configuration preferences. The apparatus may select, based at least in part on the TDD configuration preferences, a TDD configuration, from a plurality of possible TDD configurations. The apparatus may transmit selection information identifying the selected TDD configuration.

Techniques and apparatuses for time division duplex coexistence configuration

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for spectrum access server support of resource assignments based on radio access network coexistence information. An example method generally includes obtaining information regarding capability of different entities requesting use of the shared radio resources, estimating compatibility between the different entities based on the information, and allocating the shared radio resources to the different entities based on the estimated compatibility.
