Abstract: Systems and methods of a predictive handoff that cause a handoff of user equipment from one network site to another network site. A network site connected to the user equipment monitors a quality of a signal between the network site and the user equipment and receives movement information from the user equipment. The network site selects a potential network site for the handoff of the user equipment based on the movement information and a potential signal quality between the user equipment and the potential network site. The network site coordinates the handoff and causes the selected potential network site to transmit a handoff instruction to the user equipment. The network site also instructs the user equipment to listen for the handoff instruction and the user equipment and potential network site can complete the handoff.

Abstract: System, methods, and computer-readable media for a Neutral Host (NH) operation of a 5G radio, whereby a NH operator receives feedback from hosts and determines to partition Physical Resource Block (PRB) resources. Thus, a NH system is provided that enables a third-party to independently operate other channels, whereby individual physical random access channels (PRACH) are operated by independent hosts. The NH system is able to indicate partitioned resources to individual hosts, including PRACH definition and mutually exclusive set of PRBs partitioned between tenants. The hosts operating in the NH system may be operable to implement their own independent schedulers, incorporating host specific logic, that can be configured with the partitioned resources but which may further operate independently of each other.
