Wireless access network element status reporting

A wireless communication network manages a wireless access node. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with wireless User Equipment (UEs) and exchanges the user data with one or more network elements. The wireless access node generates status indicators that characterize wireless access node operation during the user data exchanges. An Element Management System (EMS) determines EMS load based on EMS operation and transfers load data that indicates the EMS load for delivery to the wireless access node. The wireless access node receives the load data transferred by the EMS. The wireless access node identifies individual priorities for individual ones of the status indicators. The wireless access node determines individual reporting times for the individual ones of the status indicators based on the load data and the individual priorities. The wireless access node transfers the individual ones of the status indicators to the EMS per the individual reporting times.

Limiting an aggregate bit rate by ignoring duplicated PDCP packets

A first base station receives an aggregate maximum bit rate of a wireless device; and an indication of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication for a bearer. Duplicated PDCP packets of the bearer are received from a PDCP layer of a second base station. The duplicated PDCP packets are transmitted to the wireless device via the bearer. An aggregate bit rate between the wireless device and the first base station is limited based on the aggregate maximum bit rate. The aggregate bit rate is determined while ignoring the duplicated PDCP packets.

ROUND-TRIP TIME AS A LATENCY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications entity, such as a user equipment (UE), a base station, a network core, or an application server, may identify a round-trip time (RTT) latency requirement that may pertain to a round-trip latency in wireless communications between the UE and the base station. The wireless communications entity may identify a one one-way directional delay budget that satisfies the RTT latency requirement for an application of an application server. The application server may be in communication with the UE via the base station. The wireless communications entity may modify a value of the one-way directional delay budget and transmit a message that is associated with the modified value of the one one-way directional delay budget.
