Systems and methods are described herein for utilizing dynamic terrestrial and non-terrestrial intra gNodeB handover in a wireless network. A location of a user device connecting to the network is determined. In response to the user device being located within a terrestrial-only coverage area of the network, the user device is connected to a terrestrial cell within the terrestrial-only coverage area. In response to the user device being located within a boundary area of the network, a terrestrial cell in the boundary area is selected and a cluster associated with that terrestrial cell is identified. The user device is connected to that terrestrial cell based on that cluster. But in response to the user device being located within a non-terrestrial-only coverage area of the network, a cluster associated with a terrestrial cell within the boundary area closest to the user device is identified, and the user device is connected to a non-terrestrial cell based on that cluster.

O-RAN based dynamic terrestrial and non-terrestrial intra g_Node_B handover

An example system and method may manage interference for wireless devices in a non-terrestrial network environment. An example system may determine spectrum blanking ranges for a wireless client device, where the spectrum blanking range restricts wireless frequencies in the spectrum blanking range from being assigned to wireless client devices by ground node. The system may determine a signal quality indicator value for a wireless client device, determine an assignable spectrum range for the wireless client device based on the signal quality indicator value and the spectrum blanking range(s), and assign a channel to the wireless client device using the assignable spectrum range.

Managing interference for wireless devices in a non-terrestrial network environment

A new radio base station establishes a first and a second component carrier in carrier aggregation. The first and second component carrier overlap each other. The base station transmits signaling and control information exclusively on the first component carrier. The base station transmits data packets on the first component carrier and on a non-overlapping portion of the second component carrier.

Method and system for utilizing non-standard bandwidths using carrier aggregation for devices supporting standard bandwidths

Various arrangements for creating a slice on a cellular network are detailed herein. A cellular service request that indicates various metrics for a slice may be received. A test function may be created on the cellular network based on the cellular service request. Access to a reduced-scale slice that provides access to the test function for a small set of user equipment (UE) can be provided along with access to key performance indicators (KPIs) for the reduced-scale slice. The reduced-scale slice may then be converted to a production slice that provides access to the network function for a larger set of UE.

Orchestration of client-accessible test slices on a cellular network

Cross Link Interference (CLI) within a wireless network is mitigated by characterizing a communication path that introduces the CLI on an uplink resource. Mitigation is achieved by receiving, from a neighboring device, information related to a downlink resource scheduling decision. The neighboring device then delays its downlink resource transmission. Transmissions received on an uplink resource may then be corrected.

Cross link interference mitigation for full duplex wireless systems

An apparatus comprises a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to one another. The memory may be configured to store one or more directories comprising access to multiple tenant profiles and one or more network access commands configured to provide access to one or more entitlements. Each tenant profile of the tenant profiles are associated with one or more services. The processor may be configured to receive a request to access at least one service. The request comprises an application function identifier (AFID) comprising a tenant ID that references a tenant profile of the tenant profiles, a department ID that references multiple entitlements associated with the tenant profile, and an API ID that references a service associated with the entitlements. Further, the processor may be configured to generate a report comprising multiple network access commands configured to enable access to the service in accordance with the entitlements.

System and method to map hierarchical multi-tenant access to services

Technologies for efficient handover in 5G networks are disclosed. An example method includes responsive to detecting that a user device is located in a geographic area with overlapping 5G coverage from a first gNB and a second gNB and that the user device is moving away from the first gNB's coverage toward the second gNB's coverage, determining to perform a light inter-gNB handover of the user device, and causing execution of the light inter-gNB handover by at least causing a physical switch from a physical CU-CP of the first gNB to a physical CU-CP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical CU-UP of the first gNB to a logical CU-UP of the second gNB, a logical switch from a logical DU of the first gNB to a logical DU of the second gBN, and a logical switch from a logical RU of the first gNB to a logical RU of the second gBN, wherein the logical switches are performed without transfer of context data associated with the user device.

Data center architectures for providing Network Functions (NFs) in telecommunications networks are disclosed. A 5G or 6G wireless service provider with an existing 5G or 6G core network in one or more clouds can add several NFs in another cloud to optimize certain service(s). These NFs may already exist in the core, but for different services. A 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) customer could also incrementally migrate to a public cloud rather than migrating all NFs at once.

A first cellular network may connect user equipment (UE) with a data network using a first anchor point. The first cellular network may transition the UE from the first anchor point to a second anchor point. Following the transitioning, the first cellular network may connect the UE with the data network using the second anchor point. The UE may then be transitioned from the second anchor point to a converged anchor point of the first cellular network. The UE may be locked to the converged anchor point while the UE is communicating with a second cellular network.

The registration request includes a list of network slices for access at network cells within range of the UE. The UE is authenticated to the network to identify subscription information of the UE. A list of slice identifications (IDs) available to the UE is transmitted to the UE. A slice-specific authentication of the UE is initiated for a slice identified as available based on the subscription information. The UE is allowed to access the slice in response to the slice-specific authentication.
