    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for a Self Organizing Network (SON) Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection for User Equipment (UE) in a virtualized Radio Access Network (RAN) environment. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: establishing, by the UE, a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and at least one Data Radio Bearer (DRB) with a Virtual node (Vnode); determining, by the SON, whether the Vnode has reached a data saturation limit; when the Vnode has reached the data saturation limit, then determining whether there is another RAT Vnode which can provide better data throughput; and when there is another RAT Vnode which can provide better data throughput, then initiating a handover procedure for the UE and specifying a target cell located in a same geographic area.

    Abstract: Generally, a combination of the following features are present to provide a centralization solution, in some embodiments: Latency compensation and auto-calibration of the delay between the PHY and the radio; Leveraging loopback in the radio (ORAN standard defined); Measurement based on air timing and/or RRH early/late feedbacks; and ability to understand routing changes and recalibrate latency compensation. In one embodiment, a method is provided for providing workload redundancy in a virtualized radio access network (RAN), comprising: distributing a baseband workload from a plurality of cells onto a first virtualized baseband unit (vBBU) at a centralized site; provisioning a second vBBU as a redundant vBBU for the plurality of cells; synchronizing state from the first vBBU to the second vBBU according to a first periodicity; performing failover from the first vBBU to the second vBBU at a first time; and adjusting an operating latency during the performed failover such that the plurality of cells continues operation without an interruption of service.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for providing multi-User Equipment (UE) and multi-message support in tunnel management messages. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: determining, for a first node and a second node using GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) tunneling support for UE management, if the first node and the second node support multi-UE messaging; when the first node and the second node support multi-UE messaging, then switching to multi-UE multi-messaging mode wherein a chain of messages are formed; and when at least one of the first node and second node do not support multi-UE messaging, then using conventional tunnel management messaging.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for resolving multiple contexts for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network. In one embodiment a method includes maintaining, for a coordinating node hosting a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) controller and a second RAT controller simultaneously, a centrally maintained database; determining, based on the contents of the centrally maintained database, when the UE is registering with the second RAT controller while currently registered with the first RAT controller; and sending, by the second RAT controller, a deregistration command to the first RAT controller the UE was registered with, wherein context is freed and wherein resources held at both the coordinating node and at a base station are freed.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method include receiving, by a transmitter integrated circuit (IC) having a serial data communications interface, a digital transmit signal, and generating a first signal that is an analog radio frequency (RF) modulated signal based on the digital transmit signal and a second signal that is a phase-offset version of the first signal. An amplified signal is generated by amplifying the first signal and includes an amplified version of the first signal and an out-of-band distortion signal. A reduced-power signal is generated from the amplified signal. The reduced-power signal is subtracted from the second signal to output a distortion cancellation signal. An amplified distortion cancellation signal is generated by amplifying the distortion cancellation signal using an error amplifier. The amplified distortion cancellation signal and a delayed version of the amplified signal are combined to output an amplified version of the first signal with reduced distortion.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer software are disclosed for demand-based dynamic carrier scaling. In one embodiment a method is disclosed, comprising: determining, at a gateway supporting dynamically created cells in a wireless network, whether there is a requirement for additional capacity; when there is a requirement for additional capacity, then providing, by the gateway, dynamically created cells as needed to handle the requirement for additional capacity; determining, at the gateway, whether there is a requirement for less capacity; and when there is a requirement for less capacity, then turning off, by the gateway, dynamically created cells as needed to handle the requirement for less capacity.
