In one embodiment, a method includes developing a mathematical model of QoE parameters at base station transmitters; providing feedback from the models to a Quality of Service (QoS) manager; and selecting, by the QoS manager based on the feedback from the models, a 5G network slice that meets QoS requirements for allocation to a user.
Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products concerning accommodating ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) traffic by making a determination of which mobile broadband (MBB) user equipment (UE) to puncture, where in response to an indication that URLLC traffic needs to be scheduled in the midst of ongoing MBB transmissions in a wireless communications network, the determination is made from a plurality of MBB UEs with the ongoing MBB transmissions, of a set of the plurality scheduled for transmission in a slot required by the URLLC traffic. From that set of MBB UEs, a subset of MBB UEs for puncturing is chosen, where that choice is made at least in relation to accommodating a reliability constraint of the URLLC traffic, maximizing a sum proportional fairness metric of the plurality of MBB UEs, and minimizing a block error rate in a computation of a proportional fairness metric for each UE of the subset.

Abstract: A wireless access node controls Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) layers for a User Equipment (UE). A radio wirelessly exchanges user data with other UEs and exchanges the user data with baseband circuitry. The baseband circuitry exchanges the user data with network elements over backhaul links. The baseband circuitry determines a status of the backhaul links. The baseband circuitry identifies the radio band status for the UE. The baseband circuitry receives user data for the UE from the network elements over the backhaul links. The baseband circuitry selects a number of MIMO layers for the UE based on the radio band status and the backhaul status. The baseband circuitry precodes the user data into precoded data for the selected number of MIMO layers and transfers the precoded data to the radio. The radio wirelessly transmits the precoded data to the UE over the selected number of MIMO layers.
Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method, system, and apparatus may include managing the operation mode of a user equipment in vehicle-to-everything communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit an inactive request message (or a request message) to a base station to indicate the user equipment is switching from a base station scheduling mode (or a radio access network node scheduling mode) to a peer user equipment scheduling mode (or a roadside unit scheduling mode). The user equipment may receive an acknowledgment message from the base station indicating a state change to allow the peer user equipment scheduling mode. In some cases, the user equipment may receive an area identifier from the base station, and the area identifier may indicate an area where the peer user equipment scheduling mode is allowed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for communication between a wireless base station with L transmit antennas and a set of receiving nodes equipped with caches so that content from a set of files can be stored in these caches. By formulating a novel way of setting users in groups and storing content partially as function of this grouping, it is achieved to increase gains in terms of number of users served simultaneously compared to the state-of-art. The approach taken here makes use of the multiple transmit antennas to boost the number of multicasting users by up to L times compared to the state-of-art, thus reducing significantly the transmission time. The invention is also presented for i) wired communications, ii) multi-transmitter cooperative communications in both wireless or wired networks and iii) in a device-to-device setting where users desire to exchange files between one another.
