A system described herein may serve as an interface between one or more radio units ('RUs') of a wireless network and one or more Distributed Units (“DUs”) of the RAN. The system may maintain information associating a set of RUs with a particular DU. The system may determine that a particular RU of the set of RUs should be disassociated from the particular DU, such as based on load metrics associated with the particular DU exceeding one or more thresholds. The system may disassociate the particular RU from the particular DU by modifying the information associating the set of RUs with the particular DU. The modified may indicate that the particular RU is no longer associated with the particular DU. The system may accordingly facilitate communications between the modified set of RUs, not including the particular RU, and the particular DU.

Systems and methods for dynamic fronthaul gateway

A system described herein may provide for an interface, such as a midhaul interface, between one or more radio elements of a radio access network ('RAN'), such as a Distributed Unit (“DU”) and/or a radio unit (“RU”), and higher layer functions of the RAN, such a Central Unit (“CU”). The interface may provide for the DU to be communicatively coupled to multiple CUs, which may be associated with multiple distinct core networks. The system may route uplink traffic, received from User Equipment (“UEs”) via the RU and the DU, to an appropriate CU. The system may resolve conflicting instructions, for the DU, received from different CUs. The resolution may be performed based on relative priority levels of the CUs or other factors. The system may provide for granular monitoring of traffic parameters on a per-CU basis, thus preserving the privacy of different core networks.

Systems and methods for cooperative radio function for multiple core networks

A system described herein may identify traffic associated with a User Equipment ('UE') that is connected to a first network. The UE may maintain a plurality of UE identities via one or more SIM (“Subscriber Identification Module”) cards, Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (“UICCs”), etc. The system may determine, based on one or more policies, that the traffic is not authorized via the first network. In some situations, the traffic may not be authorized if the first network does not support a type, service, etc. of the traffic. The system may identify a second network, based on the one or more policies, via which the traffic is authorized, and may indicate the second network to the UE. The UE may automatically (e.g., without user intervention) switch to a particular UE identity that is associated with the second network, and may output the traffic via the second network using such UE identity.

Systems and methods for service-based automatic identity switching for a device in a private network

A system described herein may identify sets of seed parameters that are each associated with a respective User Equipment ('UE') of a group of UEs. The system may generate, based on the seed parameters for each UE, a respective set of UE usage metrics for each UE, and may generate a set of aggregate UE usage metrics based on the generated sets of UE usage metrics. The system may compare the aggregate UE usage metrics to a measure of network capacity; determine an amount of time that a measure of UE usage exceeds the measure of network capacity; determine that the amount of time, that the measure of UE usage exceeds the measure of network capacity, exceeds a threshold amount of time; and modify network configuration parameters based on determining that the amount of time, that UE usage exceeds the network capacity, exceeds the threshold amount of time.
