  • Patent number: 12021672
    Abstract: A distributed radio frequency communication system includes a remote radio unit (RRU and a baseband unit (BBU) and facilitates communication between a wireless terminal and a core network. The RRU receives a radio frequency signal from a wireless terminal and convert the radio frequency signal to digital baseband samples using receiver circuitry and an analog-to-digital converter. The RRU then adaptively compresses the digital baseband samples, using adaptive compression circuitry, to create fronthaul uplink information, and sends the fronthaul uplink information over a fronthaul link to the BBU using an adaptive fronthaul protocol. The RRU also receives fronthaul downlink information over a fronthaul link from the BBU using an adaptive fronthaul protocol and generates frequency-domain samples, based on the fronthaul downlink information received.

  • Patent number: 12022301
    Abstract: One embodiment is directed to an open radio access network to provide wireless coverage for a plurality of cells at a site and that comprises a virtualized headend comprising one or more base-station nodes and a plurality of unified remote units deployed at the site. Each of the unified remote units is able to support multiple functional splits, multiple wireless interface protocols, multiple generations of radio access technology, and multiple frequency bands. The unified remote units and functional split used to serve each cell can be changed (for example, on-the-fly as a part of an automatic or manual adaptation process that is a function of one or more monitored performance attributes of the open radio access network such as network bandwidth, network latency, processing load, or processing performance). The unified remote units can be implemented in a modular manner with a backplane to which different radio modules can be coupled.

  • Publication number: 20240205839
    Abstract: A method of reducing interference in a time division duplexing access point during a quasi-full duplex mode in a communication system is provided. The method includes monitoring a signal quality of received signals from at least one user equipment (UE) at a base station. Transmission power used to a transmit signals from the base station is lowered when the monitored signal quality goes below a threshold. Full transmission power to transmit signals is restored once the signal quality of the received signals is above the threshold.

  • Patent number: 12016084
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating communication between a core network and a wireless terminal in an upper first-level protocol unit (UL1) of a radio access network (RAN) as disclosed. An upper first level protocol unit (UL1) performs a first portion of a first-level protocol of the RAN in a first apparatus and communicates over a fronthaul link with a lower first-level protocol unit (LL1). The LL1 is in a second apparatus separate from the first apparatus. A communication quality parameter for communication between the first apparatus and the LL1 is determined, and a message related to the communication quality parameter is sent by the UL1 to an entity of the RAN other than the LL1.

  • Publication number: 20240176090
    Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a cable sealing structure comprising a cable sealing body including a gel and methods of making anisotropic behavior in cable sealing structures made with a dry silicone gel. In one aspect, various three-dimensional printing techniques are used to make a cable sealing structure that includes a gel. The cable sealing body has a construction that elastically deforms to apply an elastic spring load to the gel. The cable sealing body has a construction with anisotropic deformation characteristics that allows the cable sealing body to be less deformable in one direction than in others. The cable sealing structure can be utilized to seal fiber optic cables more uniformly while limiting the potential of leakage.

  • Publication number: 20240172383
    Abstract: A latching arrangement by which a tray arrangement is releasably held in one or more positions relative to a chassis is at least partially actuated by a cable guide extending forwardly from the tray arrangement. In some example latching arrangements, the cable guide is pivoted relative to the tray arrangement to release a stop member from the chassis. In other example latching arrangements, the cable guide is slid relative to the tray arrangement to release the stop member. Certain types of latching arrangements have a second stop member that is separately actuated by a different part (e.g., an actuation leg) of the latching arrangement.
