The functions comprise Physical Layer (PHY), Media Access Control (MAC), Radio Link Control (RLC), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), and Radio Resource Control (RRC). The first set of the functions differs from the second set of the functions.

Dynamic wireless network architecture to serve uplink-centric and downlink-centric user applications

A wireless access node serves an Integrated Access and Backhaul Mobile Termination (IAB MT). The wireless access node wirelessly receives an IAB request from the IAB MT over a frequency channel. The wireless access node determines an IAB subchannel in the frequency channel for the IAB MT responsive to the IAB request. The IAB subchannel comprises adjacent resource blocks in the frequency channel. The wireless access node wirelessly indicates the IAB subchannel to the IAB MT. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges IAB data with the IAB MT over the IAB subchannel.

Radio frequency allocation among wireless user equipment and integrated access and backhaul mobile terminations

The technology disclosed herein relates to generating a three-dimensional virtual entity using augmented reality, mixed reality, extended reality, another reality type, or one or more combinations thereof. The virtual entity is generated using two-dimensional image data and a depth measurement of the entity relative to the positioning of the entity within an image or video. The depth measurement is determined based on transmitting one or more radio frequencies toward the entity via one or more radio frequency transmitters based on the entity being identified using the image data. Further, the depth measurement is determined based on one or more radio frequency receivers receiving radio frequency data based on the one or more radio frequencies reflecting or refracting from the entity. The determined depth measurement is transmitted over a wireless telecommunications network for generating the three-dimensional entity. The radio frequency data may be transmitted over the wireless telecommunications network.

Location precision techniques for enhanced depth data in wireless communications

The disclosed technology relates to utilizing computing resource nodes available to a wireless telecommunications network to distribute performance of blockchain operations throughout the wireless telecommunication network nodes. A wireless telecommunication network includes computing resources across multiple domains, including core network servers, base stations, and user devices. An example wireless telecommunication network includes a network-integrated blockchain service via which a blockchain node can submit a service request for usage of network resources to complete a blockchain operation (e.g., determining a cryptographic hash of data to be added to a blockchain) and via which a service result (e.g., a final hash value) can be returned to the blockchain node. The network-integrated blockchain service uses a machine learning (ML) model to predict and select certain network computing devices with resource availability.

Dynamic, comprehensive, and intelligent integration of telecommunication network resources for blockchain operations

A method for distributing computations across a network is described. The method includes determining a computational-need condition. Then one or more used devices may be selected based at least in part on status and reporting messages, and a computational capacity of the user equipment. The user equipment is instructed to perform a computational task to meet the computational-need condition. The user equipment will send a computational result upon completion of the computational task. A node will then implement the computational result so as to at least partially meet the computational-need condition.

Distributed computing across a wireless communications network

A wireless communication network provides a wireless communication service to a User Equipment (UE) responsive to an Application Server (AS) that is external to the wireless communication network. A Network Exposure Function (NEF) receives a Radio Access Network (RAN) instruction from the AS. The RAN instruction controls the wireless communication service for the UE. The NEF transfers the RAN instruction to the RAN. The RAN receives the RAN instruction and delivers the wireless communication service to the UE based on the RAN instruction from the AS. The RAN transfers RAN information that characterizes the RAN delivery of the wireless communication service to the UE based on the RAN instruction from the AS. The NEF receives the RAN information and transfers the RAN information to the AS that is external to the wireless communication network.

Radio access network (RAN) data exposure in a wireless communication network

A wireless communication network receives a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) profile from a User Equipment (UE) and authenticates the UE based on the first SIM profile. The network receives a first slice request from the UE and authorizes a first wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the first SIM profile and the first slice request. The network receives a second SIM profile from the UE and authenticates the UE based on the second SIM profile. The network receives a second slice request from the UE and authorizes a second wireless network slice for the UE based on the authentication of the second SIM profile and the second slice request. The network wirelessly exchanges first slice data with the UE over the first wireless network slice, and simultaneously, exchanges second slice data with the UE over the second wireless network slice.

Slices for applications based on multiple active SIM profiles

A computerized method configures and uses ad hoc servers to serve content. A content server configured to serve a content dataset periodically provides a current server load notification to a domain name server (DNS). Upon detecting that a current load of the content server exceeds a server load threshold, the DNS sends a new server setup notification to the content server. The content server then identifies an ad hoc server and performs a content service handover to the identified ad hoc server. Upon completion of the content service handover, the content server provides a new server notification to the DNS indicating that the identified ad hoc server is ready to serve the content dataset. The DNS is thereby enabled to divert client requests for the content dataset to the ad hoc server during the period that the current load of the content server exceeds the server load threshold.

Configuring ad hoc content servers based on server load limits

Aspects herein provide a system, media, and methods for provisioning and establishing multiple network slices for use by an application. In aspects, a particular application is able to provision a URLLC slice and an eMBB slice from a network. Based on a predefined policy associated with the application, the application communicates high priority data using a URLLC slice and non-priority data using the eMBB slice. The application can utilize unique headers on high priority data and non-priority data to implement the data prioritization schema, which the network can further use as filters. As such, the application can leverage the distinct characteristics of URLLC and eMBB to optimize the application's performance and operations at a user device and/or within the network.
