  • Patent number: 11973569
    Abstract: A method for request scheduling in an unmanned aerial vehicle-assisted mobile edge computing network: determining multiple feasible UAV deployment points based on obstruction information in a target area; randomly selecting U feasible UAV deployment points from the multiple feasible UAV deployment points as UAV deployment points; dividing each UAV into multiple virtual UAVs; allocating user requests in a central queue of a UAV-assisted MEC to the virtual UAVs; using a round-robin policy to schedule the user requests allocated to each virtual UAV; after a specified time period t, if a network pressure mitigation condition isn't met, inputting historical user request data of each feasible UAV deployment point into a trained MT-LSTM neural network model, obtaining a to-be-processed data volume of each feasible UAV deployment point in a next specified time period t; re-determining UAV deployment points; redeploying UAVs carrying small cell base stations based on the new UAV deployment points.

  • Patent number: 11968562
    Abstract: NAS signaling between a UE and a server is enhanced by performing one of: sending a registration complete message to the server using existing NAS signaling and without starting a release timer in response to receiving an RC_ID deletion IE in a registration accept message; and not sending the registration complete message to the server in response to receiving the RC_ID deletion IE in the registration accept message. A registration procedure is reinstated based on a stored RC_ID.

  • Patent number: 11963203
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a terrestrial to air communications network that can be configured to include a spectrum management system that deterministically allocates spectrum to aircraft for use during flight. In one or more examples, a user transmits a flight plan to a spectrum management system that is configured to manage the RF spectrum in a given air space. In one or more examples, and based on the received flight plan, the spectrum management system can allocate an RF spectrum frequency “slot” (i.e., timeslot, subchannel, or resource block) for the aircraft to use during its intended flight. The spectrum management system can take into account available spectrum as well as the predicted network traffic and their spectrum allocations to determine an RF spectrum slot that can provide a stable and continuous communications channel to the aircraft during its flight.

  • Patent number: 11924915
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques, devices, and systems for a mobile device to keep track of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) codes from a list(s) of equivalent PLMNs that the mobile device received at a time of performing a past registration procedure(s). For example, memory of the mobile device may store a PLMN code(s) from a list of equivalent PLMNs that the mobile device received from a mobility management entity (MME) or an access and mobility function (AMF) node. During a subsequent registration, the mobile device may send a message to another MME or another AMF node, and may receive a message, such as an ATTACH ACCEPT message or a REGISTRATION ACCEPT message, from the other MME or the other AMF node. In response to receiving the message, the mobile device can maintain the stored PLMN code(s) in the memory.

  • Patent number: 11889311
    Abstract: Embodiments of a radio-frequency (RF) repeater configured for semantic-less retransmissions are described herein. The RF repeater performs physical (PHY) layer processing to identify one or more PHY layer features of a received RF signal. The RF repeater may determine whether or not to retransmit the received RF signal based on the one or more PHY features. The determination to retransmit the received RF signal may be based solely on PHY parameters enabling semantic-less retransmissions.

The wireless network may include different slices that are associated different sets of service parameters. Slices may include radio access networks (“RANs”), core networks, or other types of networks, which may include respective sets of network functions (“NFs”), which may perform specific functions with respect to a given RAN and/or core network. Different slices, RANs, core networks, and/or NFs may be associated with particular policies and/or tags which may be specified by one or more users associated with a first access level. One or more users associated with a second access level may configure portions of the wireless network, and the policies and/or tags associated with particular slices, RANs, core networks, or NFs may be automatically implemented by an orchestration system that configures the wireless network based on the provided configuration information.
