    Abstract: Access network monitoring in a wireless federation may be provided. A plurality of access requests may be received from a probe device. Each of the plurality of access requests may comprise access request information. Next, an availability metric may be determined based on an amount of the plurality of access requests received and the access request information. The availability metric may then be reported.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to a process of evaluating any number of different identity providers (IDPs) and their respective set of credentials that are used to authenticate corresponding users to assist with the onboarding of the different IDPs in connection with Wi-Fi identity federations. In particular, the process allows a person's electronic identity and attributes (stored across one or more IDPs) to be determined once using a standard. Once trust has been established for the user, that trust can then be utilized across a number of different systems (e.g., Single-sign on). The same trust determination can be used without the need for the authenticity of the user identity to be re-evaluated with each new access request.

    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques to facilitate conflict management in a shared Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture. In one instance, a method can be performed by a conflict manager of a near-real-time RAN intelligent controller of a shared RAN including radio unit (RU) nodes provided by a host operator. The method can include obtaining each of a requested radio unit (RU) configuration from each of a distributed unit (DU) node operated by each of a tenant operator and determining whether there are any conflicts among RU configuration parameters for each requested RU configuration. In one instance, upon determining one or more conflicts among the RU configuration parameters for each requested RU configuration, the method may include providing a response to each DU node indicating that each DU node is allowed to configure the plurality of RU nodes using each requested RU configuration in accordance with a modification.

    Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for validating and committing a shared O-RU configuration via a shared O-RU Operator. The shared O-RU Operator validates a partitioned configuration received from a tenant operator, with the ability to indicate to the tenant operator that the partitioned configuration is conformant to agreed-upon sharing rules and then commits the shared configuration to the shared O-RU. The shared O-RU operator shares the outcome of the commit operation to the tenant operator via defined operational-data that can be read by the tenant operator. A single radio in O-RAN is shared by multiple different operators and enables a neutral host to deploy a radio unit and then have that attached to different operators networks.

    Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for a Neutral Host (NH) operation of a 5G radio, whereby a NH operator receives feedback from hosts and determines to partition Physical Resource Block (PRB) resources. Thus, a NH system is provided that enables a third-party to independently operate other channels, whereby individual physical random access channels (PRACH) are operated by independent hosts. The NH system is able to indicate partitioned resources to individual hosts, including PRACH definition and mutually exclusive set of PRBs partitioned between tenants. The hosts operating in the NH system may be operable to implement their own independent schedulers, incorporating host specific logic, that can be configured with the partitioned resources but which may further operate independently of each other.

    Abstract: Supporting Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) subflows using multipath links, and more specifically supporting MPTCP subflows using Wi-Fi Multi-Link Operation (MLO) or cellular multi-link support may be provided. A multipath link may be established between an Access Point (AP) and a station (STA). The STA may mark the multipath link as Multipath Transmission Control Protocol (MPTCP) capable. Next, a request for an addition of a MPTCP subflow may be received. In response to receiving the request, the MPTCP subflow may be bound to the multipath link, and data from the MPTCP subflow may be sent over the multipath link.
