An apparatus, method and computer program product is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise means for receiving a performance metric for an antenna array comprised of a plurality of radiating elements, the performance metric being based on performance data associated with the antenna array, the antenna array having a radiating configuration represented by configuration parameters. The apparatus may also comprise means for updating the configuration parameters dependent on the received performance metric by means of estimating new configuration parameters for moving the performance metric towards a target value. The apparatus may also comprise means for re-configuring the radiating configuration of the antenna array based on the updated configuration parameters such that the physical geometry of the antenna array is changed.

A network data analytics function, which may be implemented as a service, is disclosed which provides a new and improved network data analytics capability in 5G core networks.

An access point manages a first wireless local area network (WLAN) in a 6 GHz radio frequency (RF) band and ii) a second WLAN operating in another RF band. The access point generates a physical layer (PHY) data unit to include a management frame having i) first information indicating first network parameters of the first WLAN, and ii) second information indicating second network parameters of the second WLAN. The AP transmits the PHY data unit in the other RF band to provide, to any client stations that are operating in the other RF band and that are also capable of operating in the 6 GHz band: the first information indicating the first network parameters of the first WLAN operating in the 6 GHz RF band to assist the any client stations that are operating in the other RF band with joining the first WLAN operating in the 6 GHz RF band.

An access point (AP) may be configured by processing circuitry to operate as a coordinator AP for performing BSS channel level coordination. The coordinator AP is configured to assign non-overlapping channels to one or more coordinated APs of overlapping BSSs to schedule time-sensitive traffic to help ensure bounded latency, jitter and reliability per BSS. In some embodiments, the AP may be configured for performing transmission level coordination and may initiate a coordinated transmission opportunity (TXOP) for resource assignment to control contention access among managed BSSs. To perform the BSS channel level coordination, the coordinator AP is configured to encode a multi-AP trigger frame (M-TF) to initiate the coordinated TXOP. The M-TF may be encoded to include a time-sensitive operation IE indicating how each STA is to access the channel within the coordinated TXOP.

Presented are Ergodic Spectrum Management (ESM) systems and methods that take advantage of the presence of statistical consistencies (“ergodicity”) and correlations, such as a wireless network's average dimensional consistencies of probability distributions (in time, space, and frequency) of channel gains, to adaptively learn qualitative and quantitative network/user behavior; estimate or predict network performance; and guide locally implemented radio resource management (RRM) decisions of wireless multi-user transmissions in a manner such as to reduce interference and improve latency; connection stability; efficiency; and overall wireless performance. ESM also enhances end-users' Quality of Experience (QoE) by allowing movement across bands and regions as users/devices roam. A remote-cloud-based resource management implementation of ESM's Learn-ed Resource Managers (LRMs) removes the need for heavy edge-computing close to radio cells.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for radio resource management in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) network include one or more CBRS devices (CBSDs) which can obtain a group type associated with the CBSDs and their associated Radio Environment Map (REM) reports of one or more frequency channels of the CBRS network. The group type and the REM reports may be provided to a Self-Organizing Network (SON) manager of the CBRS network, where the SON manager may determine and provide to the CBSDs, one or more of a channel utilization information, transmission power, or mobility load management information for the CBSD, based on the group type and the REM reports.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which radio units (RUs), distributed units (DUs), or combinations thereof, may have a single hardware configuration that may be configured to implement different functions for radio frequency (RF) and baseband processing at a base station. A desired functionality for a RU or DU may be identified, and the RU or DU may be configured to implement the functionality through run-time configuration or boot images to implement a particular set of functions that may be needed for a particular cell or deployment. A RU or DU may be reconfigured following an initial configuration to perform different functions following the reconfiguration.
