A method of adaptively allocating, by a network control function, NWCF, radio resources provided by an advanced antenna system, AAS, of a radio access network, RAN. The AAS has an adaptive radio antenna arrangement configured for serving terrestrial radio user equipments, UEs. The NWCF, upon receiving information of an upcoming demand for radio resources of the RAN for serving aerial vehicle radio user equipments, UEs, maps the demand to radio resources to be allocated by the AAS for serving the aerial vehicle UEs, and instructs the AAS to allocate the radio resources for serving the aerial vehicle UEs by adapting the radio antenna arrangement of the AAS. A network control function, an advanced antenna system, and radio cell site equipment are provided.

A control platform generates commands for coordinating use of network resources between a plurality of vehicles within a geographic region. In an embodiment, game-theoretical modelling is employed to determine allocation of resources in a manner that provides an optimal solution for a given allocation strategy. This model may reward controllers of vehicles that comply with a coordination policy while penalizing controllers of vehicles that defect from compliance.

One or more wireless stations may operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A mechanism for wireless stations to learn preferred channels of neighboring wireless stations and to schedule channel sequences within a time period based on the learned channels may include advertisement of preferred channels and adaptation of channel sequences, based on the preferred channels, to maximize bandwidth utilization.

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for wireless communications for a donor node to provide a resource pattern over an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) backhaul. The aspect may include determining, at a central unit (CU) of the donor node, a configuration of a resource pattern for a plurality of IAB-nodes of an IAB network, wherein the configuration of the resource pattern includes a base resource pattern configured with a base periodicity of one or more slots and a plurality of distributed unit (DU) slot format indices within the base periodicity. The aspect may include transmitting, by the CU of the donor node, the resource pattern to one or more of the plurality of IAB-nodes of the IAB network.

Muted 6 GHz stations on the Wi-Fi network within the plurality of stations on a first access point within the plurality of access points are assigned to a first access point from the plurality of access points associated with a list of non-overlapping 6 GHz channels, responsive to an RSSI value between the at least one 6 GHz station and the first access point. To do so, a channel switch announcement is unicast to the at least one muted 6 GHz station. The channel switch announcement is associated with a non-overlapping 6 GHz channel of the first access point. The remaining stations connected to the first access point are deauthenticated.
