  • Patent number: 12273854
    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a first dataset comprising CSI measurements associated with first UEs and actual positions of the first UEs within a coverage region of a network node is received. Then, a second dataset comprising at least one CSI measurement associated with at least one second UE whose position within the coverage region of the network node is to be estimated is received. After that, based on the first and second datasets, the at least one CSI measurement associated with the at least one second UE is assigned to one of the first UEs that appears closest to the at least one second UE. Finally, the position of the at least one second UE within the coverage region of the network node is estimated by using a semi-supervised machine learning algorithm that receives the first and second datasets and the actual position of the closest first UE.

  • Patent number: 12273177
    Abstract: An aggregation unit includes a transceiver configured to transmit unique signals to a plurality of transmission reception points (TRxPs) for transmission by the plurality of TRxPs and receive uplink signals received by the plurality of TRxPs from a user equipment. The aggregation unit also includes a processor configured to generate a sum of the uplink signals from a subset of the plurality of TRxPs. The subset is determined based on measurements of the unique signals performed by the UE. In some cases, the subset is determined by a baseband unit that receives a measurement report including the measurements performed by the UE. The transceiver is configured to transmit the sum of the uplink signals to the baseband unit over a fronthaul link.

  • Publication number: 20250113342
    Abstract: A scheduling method for use in a radio access network to allocate frequency resources to a user device for the transmission of data units organized in a set of data units is disclosed. The sets of data units are assigned an initial transmission delay budget which decreases over time. The scheduling method includes, at a given transmission time, prioritizing scheduling the user device with the largest portion of data units already successfully transmitted within the set of data units, and prioritizing scheduling the user device which set of data units has the smallest remaining transmission delay budget.
