Hybrid use of dual policies is provided to improve a communication system. In a multiple access scenario, when an inactive user equipment (UE) transitions to an active state, it may be become a burden to a radio cell on which it was previously camping. In some embodiments, hybrid load balancing is provided using a hierarchical machine learning paradigm based on reinforcement learning in which an LSTM generates a goal for one policy influencing cell reselection so that another policy influencing handover over active UEs can be assisted. The communication system as influenced by the policies is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The policies controlling the active UEs and inactive UEs are coupled, and measureable system characteristics are improved. In some embodiments, policy actions depend at least in part on energy saving.

Among other things there is disclosed a method for determining corrected load values. The method includes obtaining a set of input features, each input feature being one of: i) a reported load value that was reported by a target base station to a source base station and ii) a derived load value derived using the reported load value; obtaining a set of output features, each output feature being a determined load value determined by the source base station, wherein each output feature is associated with a single one of the input features; and determining, using the set of input features and the set of output features, a set of one or more parameters for a mathematical model for determining a corrected load value based on one or more load values provided by the target base station.

Third party applications are deployed as “containerized applications” on one or more wireless AP devices. The containerized applications are confined to a pre-allocated segregated disk space within a file system of a wireless AP device. The containerized applications have access to standard Linux services as well as access to advanced features provided by an AP.

A radio communication system includes a first base station that manages a first cell (110), a second base station (12) that manages a second cell (120), and a radio terminal (2). The radio terminal (2) supports dual connectivity involving a bearer split in which a first network bearer between the radio terminal (2) and a core network (3) is split over the first base station (11) and the second base station (12). The first base station (11) receives, from the second base station (12), bearer split status information about communication of the first network bearer in the second base station (12), and performs control of an access stratum related to the first network bearer. It is thus possible to contribute, for example, to an improvement in control of an access stratum when dual connectivity involving a bearer split is performed.

Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for identifying performance measurements for registration and handovers for user equipment (UE) and wireless network nodes. A service producer system may register a first wireless communication connection with a first UE using one or more access and mobility management functions (AMFs). The service producer system may monitor registration measurements corresponding to this registration, perform a handover for the first UE using the one or more AMFs, and monitor mobility measurements corresponding to the handover. The service producer system may select a node for a second wireless communication connection corresponding to a second UE based on the registration measurements and mobility measurements and transmit an indication of the selected node to the second UE. The measurements may include a number of requests, successful requests, measurements related protocol data unit (PDU) sessions, and measurements related to Quality of Service (QoS) flows.

A base station that controls carrier aggregation for a user equipment (UE) includes a memory configured to store weight factors for serving cells that are aggregated to provide wireless connectivity to the UE. The weight factors are determined based on characteristics of the serving cells. In some cases, the weight factors are determined based on frequencies of carriers used by the serving cells to provide the wireless connectivity to the UE. The base station also includes a processor configured to determine, based on the weight factors and a total weight assigned to the UE, weights for transmitting data to the UE via the serving cells. The base station further includes a transceiver configured to transmit data to the UE via the serving cells at priorities that are determined based on the weights for the serving cells.

The present invention provides an inter-system measurement information transmission method and system. The method comprises: if there is no interface between a first base station and a second base station, the first base station determines a corresponding core network and a corresponding interface; if the corresponding core network is a first core network corresponding to the first base station, the first base station sends first measurement configuration information to a control plane entity of the first core network; the control plane entity of the first core network sends the first measurement configuration information to a control plane entity of a second core network; the control plane entity of the second core network sends the first measurement configuration information to the second base station; and the second base station determines inter-system measurement configuration information of a terminal within the coverage of the second base station for the first base station.

A method for managing a Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (M-MIMO) base station is disclosed. The method comprises receiving from a neighbour base station a notification of load conditions at the neighbour base station (110) and obtaining measurements on communication resources associated with the neighbour base station (120). The method further comprises determining whether there exists within a spatial distribution of traffic served by the neighbour base station a region having a concentration of traffic which is above a threshold level (130), and, if such a region exists, and if a condition for load transfer from the neighbour base station is fulfilled, causing at least one reference signal transmitted by the M-MIMO base station to be transmitted towards the determined region with a signal strength sufficient to trigger handover of a device in the determined region to the M-MIMO base station (160).

This disclosure relates to methods for multi-link device load signaling and use in scanning and congestion control in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless device may be configured to operate as a multi-link device access point to provide multiple basic service sets. The wireless device may provide multi-link device load information associated with one or more basic service sets provided by the multi-link device access point. The multi-link device load information may include at least an indication of a number of multi-link capable wireless devices associated with the basic service set(s) provided by the multi-link device access point.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods of handling user traffic in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network. For instance, a data counter for two or more of a plurality of user equipment (UE) bearers handled by an IAB node can be configured. Data corresponding to the two or more UE bearers of the plurality of UE bearers can be received. A first UE bearer can be selected. The first UE bearer is the UE bearer having the lowest data counter value of the two or more UE bearers. Data corresponding to the first UE bearer can be transferred to a mobile terminal (MT) in the IAB node. The data counter for the first UE bearer can be increased by a total size of the transferred data.
