A method for congestion mitigation via admission control in a shared-backhaul telecommunications network is disclosed, comprising: assessing a congestion state in a multi-node radio access network having a shared backhaul connection, the congestion state based on congestion of the shared backhaul connection; retrieving an admission control policy based on the congestion state of the shared backhaul connection; performing a policy action of the admission control policy at a first base station acting as a gateway for the multi-node radio access network with respect to the shared backhaul connection; and sending the admission control policy to other nodes in the multi-node radio access network, thereby causing the other nodes to perform the policy action, wherein the policy action is denying a request from a user equipment to attach to the radio access network.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A station may be communicating with an access point during a first active communication period. The communication may be performed in a first power mode. The station may switch to a second power mode to transition to a sleep period. The station may determine, based on traffic indicator metric(s), whether to perform a speculative wakeup and switch to the first power mode at the end of the sleep period.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for efficiently performing congestion control in a mobile communication system network.

Provided are a method for performing wireless communication by a first device and a device for supporting same. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, information related to a configured grant (CG) resource, wherein the CG resource includes at least one of a first resource related to CG type 1 or a second resource related to CG type 2; receiving, from the base station, information related to a dynamic grant (DG) resource; and performing a first sidelink (SL) transmission based on one of the CG resource or the DG resource.

Systems and methods for reducing latency in the data path between a source and destination and managing resources in a 5G network are provided. The systems and methods described herein include dynamically selecting user plane functions (UPFs) and/or dynamically placing UPFs at particular locations within the 5G network. In some examples, each UPF in the 5G network is statically placed, and the UPF used for communication between a source and destination is dynamically selected based on control plane data. In other examples, UPFs are dynamically placed, and the UPF used for communication is dynamically selected to reduce latency and/or resource usage based on control plane data. In other examples, UPFs are dynamically placed, and the UPF used for communication is dynamically selected to reduce latency and/or resource usage based on user plane data after the flow of packets has started between a source and destination.

Device group partitions and a settlement platform are provided. In some embodiments, device group partitions (e.g., partitions of devices based on associated device groups) are provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform service is provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform service is provided for partitioned devices. In some embodiments, collecting device generated service usage information for one or more devices in wireless communication on a wireless network; and aggregating the device generated service usage information for a settlement platform for the one or more devices in wireless communication on the wireless network is provided. In some embodiments, a settlement platform implements a service billing allocation and/or a service/transactional revenue share among one or more partners. In some embodiments, service usage information includes micro-CDRs, which are used for CDR mediation or reconciliation that provides for service usage accounting on any device activity that is desired. In some embodiments, each device activity that is desired to be associated with a billing event is assigned a micro-CDR transaction code, and a service processor of the device is programmed to account for that activity associated with that transaction code. In some embodiments, a service processor executing on a wireless communications device periodically reports (e.g., during each heartbeat or based on any other periodic, push, and/or pull communication technique(s)) micro-CDR usage measures to, for example, a service controller or some other network element for CDR mediation or reconciliation.

A wireless communication method and a wireless communications apparatus are provided. Implementation of the method includes: when a first wireless communications apparatus uses a first wireless communication capability to communicate with a second wireless communications apparatus, if the first wireless communications apparatus determines to adjust a wireless communication capability of the first wireless communications apparatus, sending, by the first wireless communications apparatus, first adjustment information to the second wireless communications apparatus, and starting a first timer, where the first adjustment information is used to indicate to adjust the wireless communication capability of the first wireless communications apparatus to a second wireless communication capability. In embodiments of this application, the second wireless communication capability is any one of a plurality of wireless communication capabilities of the first wireless communications apparatus except a maximum wireless communication capability and a minimum wireless communication capability.

The disclosure provides methods and apparatus relating to the transmission of control information in uplink access of wireless networks. One embodiment provides a method performed by a wireless device operable in a wireless communications network. The method comprises: responsive to failure of transmission in a first transmission time interval of a first transport block comprising first control information, transmitting in a second, subsequent transmission time interval a second transport block comprising second control information, wherein the second control information is an updated version of the first control information. Failure of transmission of the first transport block comprises the wireless device determining that a wireless channel over which the first transport block is to be transmitted is busy in the first transmission time interval.

Method and system for performance assurance in a network slice subset instance (NSSI) or a network slice instance (NSI) of a network. The method comprises receiving, at a network management function (OAM) of the network, a trigger indicating a network performance deficiency; based on the trigger, determining, by a data analytics (DAM) function of the OAM (OAM DAM) in coordination with a network analytics function of one of the core network and a radio access network (RAN), an NSI/NSSI modification; and implementing, by the OAM, a change in at least one of: NSI/NSSI policies, configurations in at least one of core network functions, the RAN and network resources, in accordance with the NSF NSSI modification.

Described are examples for receiving, from one or more second virtual radio access network (vRAN) workloads operating one or more second cells, an indication of a measurement of at least a first signal transmitted by a first vRAN workload operating a first cell, computing, based on measurements of at least the first signal as received from the one or more second vRAN workloads, a boundary of the first cell, and adjusting, based on the boundary of the first cell, a transmit parameter of the first vRAN workload for transmitting signals in the first cell.
