Secondary cell dormancy for new radio carrier aggregation

A UE may enter a dormant state, e.g., for power savings. The systems, methods, and apparatus described herein may provide ways for the UE to transition between an active state and a dormant state, as well as UE behavior in a dormant state. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive an indication of a bandwidth part (BWP) switch for a secondary cell and to transition between an active state and a dormant state for the secondary cell based on the indication of the BWP switch.

20220377610 · 2022-11-24 ·

A method may include receiving, at a reinforcement learning load balancer, a load metric related to available resources of a carrier. The method may also include calculating, based on the load metric, an update to carrier assignment parameters for a user. The method may further include calculating, based on the load metric, an update to uplink/downlink split proportions and resource pool split proportions. In addition, the method may include predicting an impact of the update to the carrier assignment parameters, the update to the uplink/downlink split proportions, and the update to the resource pool split proportions to the load metric. Further, the method may include communicating the update to carrier assignment parameters, the update to uplink/downlink split proportions, and the update to resource pool split proportions to one or more radio resource managers of corresponding one or more radio access technologies for application to a communication network.

OPPORTUNISTIC SPATIAL REUSE

Systems and methods are provided for opportunistic spatial reuse. In various embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods provide for mechanisms for enabling and disabling spatial reuse in a wireless network as appropriate based on the deployment of the wireless network. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled based on various factors, such as channel utilization. In some embodiments, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled as appropriate for various types of traffic in a wireless network. For example, spatial reuse can be enabled and disabled for downlink traffic (e.g., traffic from an access point to a client device), for uplink traffic (e.g., traffic from a client device to an access point), for multicast or broadcast traffic (e.g., traffic distributed to multiple recipients), or for certain modes of transmission (e.g., single user beamformed transmission, Dual Carrier Modulated transmission).
