A first base station communicates with a UE via the first base station and a second base station. The first base station transmits, via a radio interface to the second base station, a configuration for concurrent communication between the UE and a group of base stations including the first base station and the second base station. The first base station communicates, by processing hardware, data over the radio interface directly with the UE, and via the radio interface and the second base stab on.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a multi-source same-cell wireless distribution system (WDS) with dynamic source adaptation. In this regard, the WDS includes multiple remote units each configured to distribute a downlink communications signal having identical cell identification in a respective coverage area. The WDS includes a signal distribution circuit communicatively coupled to multiple signal sources. The signal distribution circuit can dynamically determine a selected coverage cell among multiple coverage cells having a client device load higher than a predefined load threshold. Accordingly, the signal distribution circuit can redistribute the defined source capacity of a selected signal source among the multiple signal sources exclusively to the selected coverage cell. By dynamically distributing more capacity to the selected coverage cell with higher client device load, it is possible to increase data throughput, thus helping to provide improved user experience in the selected coverage cell.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G system with IoT technology. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. According to an embodiment, a method for providing a MA PDU service to a UE by a UPF device in a mobile communication system may include receiving an N4 rule including a traffic transmission method for downlinks (DLs) to the UE from an SMF device, wherein the DLs include a DL of 3GPP access and a DL of non-3GPP access; receiving a split ratio change report for UL traffic to the 3GPP access and UL traffic to the non-3GPP access from the UE; generating a traffic counter based on the received split ratio change report; and transmitting the split ratio change report to the SMF device.

An apparatus for data processing and related non-transitory computer-readable medium are provided. In the method, the apparatus computes a burst threshold for a data stream. The burst threshold is associated with a throughput of the data stream. The apparatus further identifies a set of bursts in the data stream based on the burst threshold, and detect a pattern in the data stream based on the set of bursts. The apparatus further estimates at least one subsequent burst in the data stream based on the pattern and the burst threshold, and outputs an indication of the at least one subsequent burst in the data stream. The method enables a device to predict one or more future data bursts based on characteristics of existing data. The predicted data bursts allow the transmission resource and power to be adaptively arranged to significantly reduce power consumption and improve transmission efficiency.

In some implementations, a message indicating a request for delivery of data to user equipment (UE) (e.g. an IoT device) operative for communications in a mobile network may be received from an application server. One or more first loading or congestion indication values indicative of a first loading or congestion at one or more first network nodes along a first mobile network route may be obtained. In addition, one or more second loading or congestion indication values indicative of a second loading or congestion at one or more second network nodes along a second mobile network route may be obtained. The first or the second mobile network route may be selected based on at least one of the one or more first and the second loading or congestion indication values. The data may be delivered to the UE over the selected mobile network route.

Methods for managing packet transmissions, which may be implemented in a node of a radio access network, are provided. One such method includes receiving, from an upstream node, a packet via a downlink tunnel, selecting, based on one or more properties of the downlink tunnel, a semi-persistent scheduling radio resource for transmitting the packet to one or more UEs, and transmitting the packet via a radio interface to the one or more UEs using the semi-persistent scheduling radio resource. Another method includes receiving, from an upstream node, a packet associated with a quality-of-service (QOS) flow, selecting, based on the QoS flow, a semi-persistent scheduling radio resource for transmitting the packet to one or more UEs, and transmitting the packet via a radio interface to the one or more UEs using the semi-persistent scheduling radio resource.

A cellular network system includes a multi-core network having core slices, at least one cell site, and a network exposure layer. The cell sites are configured to receive communications from a plurality of tenants. The network exposure layer is configured to receive, through the cell site(s), a plurality of requests for bandwidth from an application programming interface (API) of the plurality of tenants. One of the requests includes a first request from a first API of a first tenant. In response to the first tenant being determined to be authenticated using information from the first request, a first core slice is determined to be associated with the first tenant. Data transfers are then provided between the first tenant and the first core slice in response to determining that the first core slice is associated with the first tenant and the first tenant being authenticated.

Systems and methods for outroute load balancing in a multi-band hybrid satellite communication system include comparing the load metric of each of code rate organizers (CROs) to a threshold value; placing each CRO in one of a surplus load balancing set and a deficit balancing set based on a value of the load metric; and determining a probability metric for each satellite terminal associated with each of the CROs in the surplus load balancing set. The probability metric indicates a probability of the terminal moving to one of the CROs in the deficit load balancing set. At least one satellite terminal associated with one of the CROs in the surplus load balancing set is then caused to switch to one of the CROs in the deficit load balancing set based on the probability metric of the at least one satellite terminal.
