Performance measurement job control for 5G networks and network slicing
11070997 · 2021-07-20 · ·

Systems and methods of performance management over a life cycle is provided. A measurement job control service producer receives, from an authorized consumer, a request to consume a measurement job control service. The request is analyzed, appropriate action is taken to satisfy the request and a response indicating the request result is generated. A request is to create or terminate a measurement job to collect the performance data for a NF, NSSI, NSI, or network. To create a job, the producer checks if the job can be supported by an existing job, creates the job if no such existing job exists, and otherwise responds that the job can be supported by the existing job. To terminate a job, the producer checks if the job is serving other consumers, terminates the job if other consumers are not being served, and otherwise responds that the job is currently serving other consumers.

MANAGING SIGNAL TRAFFIC IN A 5G OR OTHER NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS NETWORK
20210258971 · 2021-08-19 ·

The technologies described herein are generally directed toward managing signal traffic in a wireless network. Example operations can include receiving, for a group of cells, a control channel utilization value for a control channel and a data channel utilization value for a data channel. The operations can further include generating, based on the control channel utilization value and a threshold, for a first cell of the group of cells, a channel allocation that can increase the balance of use of control channel resources and data channel resources for the first cell, and configuring the first cell of the group of cells to allocate control channel resources and data channel resources of the first cell based on the channel allocation.

Cell Selection for Wireless Communications

A wireless device may communicate with a base station via a cell. A cell may be selected for wireless communications based on having a configuration that is capable of serving certain wireless resources associated with a wireless device. A wireless device may select a cell that comprises a communication link supporting certain wireless resources that may be required for use by the wireless device.

Sidelink (SL) resource selection includes determining that all SL resources within an SL resource pool for an SL resource selection window are unclaimed for SL transmission when no prior sensing results are available for an SL channel, and determining which SL resources within the SL resource pool are unclaimed for SL transmission based on the prior sensing results when prior sensing results are available. Unclaimed SL resource(s) are randomly selected, and the SL channel is sensed during one or more slots preceding the randomly selected SL resource(s) to determine availability before transmitting on or signaling the randomly selected SL resource(s). Transmission on a first-in-time of the randomly selected SL resource(s) is based on the availability determination and, in the first-in-time randomly selected SL resource, one or more additional SL resource(s) are signaled based on the availability determination.
