The described technology is generally directed towards reducing latency in a wireless communications network. Radio access network latency data corresponding to a measured latency impact criterion is obtained by a network device of a wireless network. Based on the radio access network latency data, latency guidance data usable by the radio network device to achieve a reduction in communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment is predicted, e.g., by a learned model. The latency guidance data can be used to facilitate a reduction in the communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support dynamic spectrum sharing for multiple radio protocols, such as New Radio and Long Term Evolution. Systems may implement a number of techniques to improve spectrum use by user equipment in dynamically shared frequency spectrums. In some aspects, the network may assign a user equipment to a specific bandwidth part based on a rate matching capability of the user equipment. Additionally or alternatively, the network may activate a specific bandwidth part based on the frequency of handover for a user equipment. In some aspects, the network may support dual registration (e.g., registration in a same frequency spectrum using different radio protocols) for a user equipment operating on a dynamically shared spectrum. To reduce the control overhead for such a user equipment, the network may use a single control channel to schedule data for multiple radio protocols.

A system may provide for the design and/or modification of network slices associated with a wireless network. The wireless network may include different slices that are associated different sets of service parameters. Slices may include radio access networks (RANs), core networks, or other types of networks, which may include respective sets of network functions (NFs), which may perform specific functions with respect to a given RAN and/or core network. Different slices, RANs, core networks, and/or NFs may be associated with particular policies and/or tags which may be specified by one or more users associated with a first access level. One or more users associated with a second access level may configure portions of the wireless network, and the policies and/or tags associated with particular slices, RANs, core networks, or NFs may be automatically implemented by an orchestration system that configures the wireless network based on the provided configuration information.

A method for wireless communication network control includes (1) receiving, at an information technology (IT) device, a first steering policy from an application manager remote from the IT device, the first steering policy specifying a first allocation of data among a plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device; and (2) sending uplink or downlink data from a first application client on the IT device to a mobility manager remote from the IT device over at least one of the plurality of wireless communication links available to the IT device, according to the first allocation of data.

In one example, a method includes detecting that a user equipment device has moved to a location in a telecommunications network in which a first network route is available, where the first network route has a higher priority than a second network route with which an application executing on the user equipment device has established a current protocol data unit session, determining that the application should switch the current protocol data unit session to the first network route, and supporting the application in switching the current protocol data unit session from the second network route to the first network route.

Methods are provided to support path selection for a remote UE configured with multipath in a UE-to-network relay. A direct path or an indirect path is set as the primary path. Side information of the indirect path is considered for path selection. A remote UE can select a suitable path by utilizing the side information for path selection to check whether an indirect path can fulfill the QoS requirement of arriving UL traffic. In a network-controlled path selection, the base station can request UE to send side information. The base station indicates the selected path or the change of primary path to the UE via explicit signaling. Each path is identified by a path ID. The path indication is in a granularity of per radio bearer, per QoS flow, per logical channel, or per logical channel group.

The present invention relates to a receiver-centric transmission system for IoT systems, such as lighting networks, with combo protocol radio chips that share a single radio front-end for two or more transmission protocols of different network technologies while preventing unacceptable performance degradations in one or both protocol modes. The receiver-centric approach allows implementation of two networks with acceptable performances on one single radio chip per node rather than requiring two radio chips per node.

An apparatus and system to enable dynamic offloading and execution of compute tasks are described. In split CU-DU RAN architectures, the CU-CP is connected with multiple compute control functions (CF) and service functions (SF) that have different computing hardware/software capabilities. Different architectures depend on whether the SF is collocated with the CU-UP, the CU-UP and SF only serve compute messages, a compute message is supplied directly to the CU-UP or also traverses the CU-CP. In response to reception from a UE of a compute message containing data for computation being sent to the CU-CP through the DU, the CU-CP sends the data to the SF with identifiers and sends the result to the UE.
