CELLULAR NETWORK AREA OPTIMIZER

The described technology is generally directed towards a cellular network area optimizer. The area optimizer observes cellular network conditions at multiple radio access network (RAN) nodes within a target area. Based on observed conditions, the area optimizer applies a set of parameter values at the multiple RAN nodes. The set of parameter values enhances the overall throughput, while maintaining or improving connection retainability and accessibility, of the multiple RAN nodes under the observed conditions. The area optimizer learns different sets of parameter values to apply in response to different observed conditions by making parameter value adjustments and observing the effect of the adjustments on overall throughput of the RAN nodes in the target area.

RESOURCE UTILIZATION BASED EVENT TRIGGERING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that support resource utilization based event triggering. A wireless node in a wireless communications system may establish a connection with a core network via a path that includes one or more relay nodes. The wireless node may determine that a network load associated with one or more paths between the wireless node and the core network has changed, or that a difference between two or more network loads of different paths has changed. Based on such a determination, the wireless node may transmit a report to the network. In some cases, the network may receive the report from the wireless node, and may initiate a path change based on the report.

Direct communication channel bandwidth reliability in a V2X communication
11259190 · 2022-02-22 · ·

Techniques described herein improve direct communication channel reliability in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The techniques include a (wireless communication) device that uses a first licensed band to perform a cellular network communication through a first interface (e.g., Uu), and further uses a shared spectrum to perform a V2X communication through a direct communication channel interface. The device then monitors and compares a bandwidth requirement of the V2X communication with a bandwidth of the shared spectrum. In response to the bandwidth that is less than the bandwidth requirement, the device selects a second licensed band that includes a bandwidth that is at least equal to the bandwidth requirement. Further, the selected second licensed band is different from the first licensed band to avoid channel interference. In other embodiments, the device uses the licensed band to directly establish the V2X communication.
