Abstract: According to aspects herein, methods and systems for time division duplexing (TDD) management in New Radio (NR) are provided. The method begins with determining if a cell site has heavy uplink use. This can be shown by the cell site using a heavy uplink TDD pattern, which is indicative of users transmitting more data then they receive. Once a cell site has been found to have heavy uplink use, a list of neighboring cell sites is retrieved. The neighboring cell sites may be analyzed to determine if they have heavy downlink use. The method then proceeds to determine if the neighboring cell sites with heavy downlink use can be downlink blanked. Downlink blanking on the neighboring cell sites may then be turned on.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for making dynamic reporting adjustments for fixed wireless access (FWA) devices. Methods include grouping wireless devices connected to an access node in a network into one of a mobile group and a fixed wireless access (FWA) group. The method additionally includes adjusting a periodicity for sending a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) from the access node to the wireless devices in the FWA group and adjusting a periodicity for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) for the FWA group.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) User Equipment (UEs) and Mobile Wireless Access (MWA) UEs. Wireless access nodes receive signaling from the UEs and transfer the signaling to a network control-plane. The network control-plane determines network characteristics for the UEs responsive to the signaling. The control-plane generates MWA UE context for the UEs in a MWA UE group based on the network characteristics and generates FWA UE context for the UEs in the FWA UE group based on the network characteristics. The network control-plane transfers signaling to the wireless access nodes having the MWA UE context and the FWA UE context. The wireless access nodes serve the UEs in the MWA UE group by using Discontinuous Reception (DRX) responsive to the MWA UE context. The wireless access nodes serve the UEs in the FWA group without using the DRX responsive to the FWA UE context.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein provide for adjustment of transmit power of a user device based on transitioning from one configuration to another configuration. Transitioning a user devices to a configuration may involve modifying the number of layers and/ports used for uplink communications. In response to modifying the number of layers and/or ports, a user device may alter the transmit power used for uplink communication so that a target power can be utilized by the user device. Adjustments to the transmit power enables a higher coverage and performance of the user device in a communication network.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein which dynamically provide an optimized mechanism for switching uplink waveforms within a cellular network. An uplink profile generally indicates a number of transmission ports and what uplink waveform is used by a user device to transmit to a base station. A power headroom, channel conditions, and signal to interference plus noise ratio are used to modify the uplink profile. These inputs may be compared to upper and lower threshold values to provide optimal conditions to switch from a Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing waveform (CP-OFDM) to a Direct Fourier Transform Spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing waveform (DFT-s-OFDM).

Abstract: A system that can detect a congested network node device that is overloaded due to number of user equipment (UE) devices connected to the network node device being determined to have exceeded a connection threshold; determine a second network node device that is available to establish connections with at least some of the UEs connected to the congested network node device; identify a third network node device that is transferring UE devices to the congested network node device to create additional connections; and transmit a cell individual offset (CIO) parameter and cell hysteresis offsets to the third network node device to reduce transferring UE devices to the congested network node device, and another CIO parameter and cell hysteresis offsets to the second network node device to increase establishment of the UE connection from the congested network node device.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques and systems for selectively transitioning communication sessions from TDD to FDD based on service type and uplink quality. The selective transitioning of communication sessions from TDD to FDD can provide higher and more reliable uplink throughput to UEs, as needed. An example process includes determining, during setup of a communication session for a UE using TDD, a type of service associated with the communication session, and determining that the type of service is a predefined service of a set of predefined services. The example process may further include determining a value indicative of a quality associated with an uplink connection established by the UE, determining that the value fails to satisfy a threshold value, and transitioning, based at least in part on the value failing to satisfy the threshold value, the communication session to a target base station to finish the setup using FDD.
