To provide a low latency near RT RIC, some embodiments separate the RIC's functions into several different components that operate on different machines (e.g., execute on VMs or Pods) operating on the same host computer or different host computers. Some embodiments also provide high speed interfaces between these machines. Some or all of these interfaces operate in non-blocking, lockless manner in order to ensure that critical near RT RIC operations (e.g., datapath processes) are not delayed due to multiple requests causing one or more components to stall. In addition, each of these RIC components also has an internal architecture that is designed to operate in a non-blocking manner so that no one process of a component can block the operation of another process of the component. All of these low latency features allow the near RT RIC to serve as a high speed IO between the E2 nodes and the xApps.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a preamble configuration. The UE may receive a preamble in a time domain. The preamble may include a set of modulated bits during a first portion of an initial symbol duration of a slot. The set of modulated bits may include one or more of a first subset of network temporary identifier bits or a second subset of modulation and coding scheme (MCS) bits. The UE may process the preamble during a second portion of the initial symbol duration of the slot based on the preamble configuration.

A method of wireless communication by a network device includes receiving, from a UE, a request for a list of frequency band combinations based on a location of the UE. The method further includes transmitting, to the UE, a prioritized list of frequency band combinations for the location of the UE. The prioritized list is based on a selected network configured frequency band combination associated with the location of the UE.

A network controller including processing circuitry may be configured to receive dynamic position information indicative of a three dimensional position of at least one mobile communication node, compare fixed position information indicative of fixed geographic locations of respective access points of a network to the dynamic position information to determine a relative position of the at least one mobile communication node relative to at least one of the access points based on the fixed position information and the dynamic position information, and provide network control instructions to at least one network asset based on the relative position.
