Capacity management methods and apparatus for use in a wireless network
Methods and apparatus for managing capacity in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) network. An exemplary method embodiment includes operating a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) of a cell to perform the steps of: receiving a power down message; decreasing, in response to the power down message, UE inactivity timer length for one or more UEs from a first length to a second length; and continuing to transmit packets to UEs at an edge of the cell. An exemplary system embodiment includes: a CBSD of a cell that comprises: a network receiver that receives a power down message; a first processor that controls the first CBSD to decrease, in response to the power down message, UE inactivity timer length for one or more UEs from a first length to a second length; and a wireless transmitter that continues to transmit packets to UEs at an edge of the cell.
Call Recovery for Failure
Techniques for call recovery for call failure are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to adapt to a variety of different wireless scenarios. For instance, when multiple call failures for a call occur over a particular set of radio access technologies, an IP-based call and/or a direct device-to-device call can be implemented to complete the call.

Cell Selection Optimization During RRC Reestablishment
A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a mobility configuration from a source cell of a network, wherein the mobility configuration includes at least one mobility measurement object, determine that a radio link failure (RLF) event has occurred on the source cell, searching for a primary cell (PCell) only on frequencies associated with the at least one mobility measurement object to reestablish a radio resource control (RRC) connection and reestablish the RRC connection with the PCell.

Methods and systems of an all purpose broadband network with publish subscribe broker network
A first optimization server including a first publish-subscribe broker is configured to connect to a first cellular base transceiver station, where the first cellular base transceiver station is configured to communicatively connect to entities, including a first entity, in an RF coverage area of the first cellular base transceiver station. A second optimization server includes a second publish-subscribe broker, where the first publish-subscribe broker and the second publish-subscribe broker are part of a publish-subscribe broker network that is operable to distribute published data packets between entities that are connected to a publish-subscribe broker of the publish-subscribe broker network, where the publish-subscribe broker network is configured to route data packets published by the first entity to a second entity via the first publish-subscribe broker and the second publish-subscribe broker if the second entity has subscribed to receive the data packets published by the first entity.
USER EQUIPMENT (UE) ASSISTED TERMINATION SELECTION FOR NON-STANDALONE OR DUAL CONNECTIVITY
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may determine a preference of the UE for a termination point between a core network and a radio access network (RAN), the core network and the RAN supporting communications for the UE via at least one or a first cell and a second cell each associated with a multi-connectivity mode of the UE. The UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of the preference of the UE for the termination point. In some cases, the base station may determine the termination point based on receiving the indication of the preference of the UE, and the base station may transmit a message indicating a configuration for the multi-connectivity mode to the UE, the configuration indicating the determined termination point.
Apparatus, system and method to support 5G mobility robustness optimization
An apparatus, a system, a computer-readable media, and a method. The method is to be performed at an apparatus of a gNB configured to host a management service (MnS) producer of provisioning function and a mobility robustness optimization (MRO) function in a distributed self-organizing network (D-SON). The method includes: decoding one or more requests from a MRO management function sent on a service-based layer of the D-SON, the one or more requests indicating attributes to be set by the gNB, the attributes including MRO targets, ranges of handover parameters, and a control parameter to enable or disable the MRO function; based on the one or more requests, setting the targets and the ranges of handover parameters for the MRO function, and enabling the MRO function; and in response to a determination that a MRO performance does not meet the targets, performing updates on the attributes to optimize the MRO performance.
METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR PROVIDING FOR NETWORK FUNCTION (NF) FALLBACK TO RECOVERED NF REPOSITORY FUNCTION (NRF)
A method for providing for network function (NF) fallback to a recovered network function NF repository function (NRF) includes, at an NF including at least one processor, generating an NF register message including an indication to notify the NF of recovery of a first NRF after a failure of the first
NRF. The method further includes transmitting the NF register message to the first NRF. The method further includes communicating with the first NRF and detecting failure of the first NRF. The method further includes, in response to detecting failure of the first NRF, initiating communications with a second NRF that is a geo-redundant mate of the first NRF. The method further includes receiving notification of recovery of the first NRF and falling back to communicating with the first NRF.
