Abstract:
Different types of backhauls are used to provide connectivity for an access point. In some implementations, an access point monitors conditions on at least one backhaul to determine whether each backhaul is capable of supporting any QoS requirements of the access point's traffic flows. If the access point determines that a backhaul is capable of supporting the QoS requirement of a given traffic flow, the access point may configure the traffic flow to be routed via that backhaul. In some implementations, an access point selects a different backhaul for a traffic flow based on the type of traffic flow. For example, upon determining that a traffic flow is destined for an entity associated with another backhaul, the access point may switch to the other backhaul for routing that traffic flow.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems and methods for dynamic power regulation in small cells. In one aspect, a system is configured to determining at least one mobility metric indicative of at least one access terminal mobility at the cell. The system then configured to determine whether the value of mobility metric is acceptable. When the value of mobility metric is unacceptable, the system is configured to increase the transmit power of the cell until the value of mobility metric becomes acceptable. If the value of mobility metric does not become acceptable after increasing the transmit power of the cell above a threshold, the system is configured to decrease the transmit power of the cell.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with making UE handover decisions. In one example, a node is equipped to obtain one or more UE measurement values associated with a UE, determine a mobility state of the UE based at least in part on the obtained one or more UE measurement values, and adjust one or more handover parameters based at least in part on the determined mobility state of the UE. In another example, a UE is equipped to obtain one or more UE measurements, determine a handover state of a UE based on the obtained one or more UE measurements, and perform a handover-related action based on the determined handover state of the UE.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication may comprise, for example, automatically determining first power settings for a first radio access technology (RAT) based on second power settings for a second RAT, and automatically applying the first power settings as power settings for the first RAT.
Abstract:
A type of circuit switched fallback (CSFB) is selected based on the target access point for the CSFB. For example, redirection-based CSFB may be selected for some types of target access points, while handover-based CSFB is selected for other types of target access points. In some aspects, an entity may use one or more access point identifiers associated with the target access point to select which type of CSFB to use.
Abstract:
Resources are reserved for handover signaling. Handover reliability is thereby improved since the primary interference for handover signaling will be from the handover signaling of nearby cells (e.g., as opposed to data traffic). Given the relatively sparse nature of handover signaling, a significant reduction in interference may be achieved in a network employing this technique in comparison to conventional networks. In some implementations, a set of neighboring access points cooperate to determine which resources are reserved for handover signaling. In some implementations, resources for handover signaling are reserved on a network-wide basis or an access point cluster-wide basis.
Abstract:
Wireless communication in a heterogeneous network may be facilitated by establishing connections with femto nodes based on page notifications from macro nodes to user equipment (UE). A UE in idle mode may monitor paging resources provided by a macro node, discover presence of a femto node based on signals received from the femto node, and establish a communicative connection with the femto node based on a page notification received from the macro node over the paging resources.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may receive a Wi-Fi positioning configuration comprising a set of measurement gaps for a reception of a set of Wi-Fi reference signals (RSs). The UE may receive the set of Wi-Fi RSs during the set of measurement gaps. The UE may measure the set of Wi-Fi RSs. The UE may calculate a position of the UE using a positioning model based on the measured set of Wi-Fi RSs. The UE may transmit a report message comprising the calculated position of the UE. The UE may receive and measure a set of UE-to-universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network (UE-UTRAN) (Uu) RSs during a second set of measurement gaps configured by a Uu positioning configuration. The UE may calculate the position of the UE using the positioning model further based on the measured set of Uu RSs.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate, with a network entity, an indication of operation of an artificial intelligence (AI) or (ML) model at the UE and/or the network entity. Based on the indication of the operation of the AI or ML model, the UE may communicate, with the network entity, an indication of the QCL relation between the AI or ML model and reference signal communicated by the UE, a physical channel communicated by the UE, an antenna port of the network entity, or an antenna port of the UE. The QCL relation may indicate the radio characteristics applicable to the AI or ML model. The QCL relation may indicate the radio characteristics applicable to the AI or ML model.
Abstract:
A method for redirecting a user equipment (UE) from a first network to a second network is described. The method includes determining, at a wireless access point of the first network, information for the UE about one or more mobile network operator (MNO) networks. The method also includes selecting the second network for redirection from among the one or more MNO networks based on the determined information. The method further includes sending the UE a redirection message that redirects the UE from the first network to the second network.
