  • Patent number: 11212745
    Abstract: Power management for remote units in a wireless distribution system. Power can be managed for a remote unit configured to power modules and devices that may require more power to operate than power available to the remote unit. For example, the remote unit may be configured to include power-consuming remote unit modules to provide communication services. As another example, the remote unit may be configured to provide power through powered ports in the remote unit to power-consuming devices. Depending on the configuration of the remote unit, the power-consuming remote unit modules and/or power-consuming devices may demand more power than is available at the remote unit. In this instance, the power available at the remote unit can be distributed to the power-consuming modules and devices based on the priority of services desired to be provided by the remote unit.

  • Patent number: 11212699
    Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) attaches to a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) gNodeB in a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network receives a Guaranteed Bit Rate (GBR) request for the UE. In the wireless communication network, a Policy Control Function (PCF) efficiently invokes an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and a Session Management Function (SMF) to effectively serve the GBR request. The AMF signals the UE and the 5GNR gNodeB to initiate the GBR service over the Long Term Evolution eNodeB. The SMF signals a data gateway to initiate the GBR service with the LTE eNodeB. The UE attaches to the LTE eNodeB. The LTE eNodeB and the data gateway deliver the requested GBR service to the UE.
