Backhaul bandwidth management method and system for wireless network

A backhaul bandwidth management method for a wireless network is provided. Firstly, a backhaul connection mode is adjusted by a network device in a backhaul network according to a wireless capability. Then, a backhaul guaranteed bandwidth is guaranteed by the network device according to at least one of a dedicated service set identifier (SSID), a dedicated radio frequency (RF) band and a dedicated wireless mode. Then, a bandwidth allocation algorithm is executed by the network device to ensure that at least one backhaul transmission connection has the backhaul guaranteed bandwidth. Finally, a backhaul SSID is set to a first wireless network standard only mode by the network device to ensure that data transmission will not be interfered with by other network devices transmitting data according to a second wireless network standard in the backhaul network.

Dynamic radio access technology allocation

Methods and systems are provided for dynamically reallocating user devices between two or more radio access technologies based on a current frequency allocation. It is determined that a quantity of user devices using a first radio access technology at a base station is above a threshold. A current frequency allocation is then determined between the first radio access technology and a second radio access technology. Based on the quantity of user devices using the first radio access technology being above the threshold and the current frequency allocation, one or more user devices from the quantity of user devices are reallocated from the first radio access technology to the second radio access technology.

Uplink Data Splitting Method, Terminal Device, and Chip System
20230300675 · 2023-09-21 ·

This application provides an uplink data splitting method, a terminal device, and a chip system, and relates to the field of communication technologies. The method includes the following: After determining that a timer expires, a terminal device determines, based on transmission capabilities of an LTE link and an NR link, a data amount of a data package transmitted on the LTE link and the NR link. The transmission capability of the LTE link is determined by the terminal device by transmitting a first detection data package on the LTE link before the timer expires. The transmission capability of the NR link is determined by the terminal device by transmitting a second detection data package on the NR link before the timer expires. The second detection data package is obtained through duplication based on the first detection data package. The terminal device sends same data packages to different communication links to detect transmission capabilities of the communication links. This avoids a phenomenon that data packages wait for each other, and does not affect normal transmission of a data service and user experience for a service.

Three-dimensional visualization of Wi-Fi signal propagation through multiple floors

The present technology is directed to visualizing a Wi-Fi access point (AP) signal propagation pattern through multiple floors.

20230284071 · 2023-09-07 ·

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for enhancing reliability of voice over new radio (VONR) in dual connectivity (DC) by duplicating quality of service (QoS) flow using motion metrics measured at the user equipment (UE). At a high level, the UE may detect a motion metric, such as rotation or displacement, and determine whether the detected motion metric exceeds a threshold. When the motion metric exceeds the threshold, the UE requests the network to duplicate the QoS flow in response to the determination.

Intelligent transmission port selection and power utilization for a cellular device

A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish network connections for long-term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR) radio access technologies (RATS) in non-standalone (NSA) E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (ENDC) operation. The UE includes a multi-antenna array for data and signaling transmissions and receptions over the LTE and NR connections. The UE determines a most efficient antenna of the multi-antenna array for an operating frequency band of the LTE and NR connections, wherein the most efficient antenna is determined based on at least one performance factor for the UE when using the antenna compared to other antennas of the multi-antenna array, evaluates one or more factors for determining whether the LTE RAT or the NR RAT is to use the most efficient antenna and transmits uplink data on the most efficient antenna via either the LTE RAT or the NR RAT based on the evaluated factors.

RIC and RIC framework communication

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.
