Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards terminating performance data, obtained by a radio unit, at a distributed unit (node) coupled to the radio unit. The distributed unit coordinates with the radio unit to synchronize receiving the performance data from the radio unit. This can include communicating with the radio unit to generate the performance data at the radio unit based on processing custom signal data. The custom signal data can be generated and injected into a communications path by the distributed unit and/or the radio unit. For example, the initial custom signal data can be evaluated versus the resulting received data after transmission to determine difference data, which is indicative of performance. The performance data can be used as desired by the distributed unit, including to modify operating parameters of the radio unit to improve the current performance of the radio unit.

Abstract: A base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed. Each base station in the wireless communication comprises: a communication module; and a processor. When the processor attempts to transmit a synchronization signal and PBCH block (SSB) at a SSB transmission candidate position in a discovery reference signal (DRS) transmission window, and fails to transmit an SSB at a first SSB transmission candidate location in a first DRS transmission window, the processor is configured to attempt to transmit the SSB at a second SSB transmission candidate position that is later than the first SSB transmission candidate position in the first DRS transmission window. The DRS transmission window is a time interval in which the base station can transmit the SSB. The SSB transmission candidate position indicates a time point at which the base station can start SSB transmission within the DRS transmission window.

Abstract: A control node divides a plurality of edge nodes included in an edge node cluster into N edge node sets, where each edge node set includes at least two edge nodes. The control node selects M second edge nodes from a first edge node set, where the first edge node set is one of the N edge node sets. The control node sends a control rule to the M second edge nodes, so that the second edge node performs fault detection on a first edge node according to the control rule. Therefore, when the control node cannot perform fault detection on the first edge node, the second edge node can perform fault detection on the first edge node.

Abstract: Systems and methods may facilitate initial establishment and/or handover of an air-to-ground (ATG) communication link between an aircraft and a ground-based cellular communication network (e.g., a 5G network). The systems and methods may be particularly applicable for an aircraft having a user equipment (UE) antenna that uses narrow beamforming to connect to a cell of a base station (gNB). The UE identifies candidate cells based upon the location of the UE and locations and orientations of cells in the network, identifies a cell having a higher likelihood of connection success compare to other cells, and directs a beam to the chosen cell. The systems and methods may enable the UE to create neighbor lists in real time based upon the UE location, and may prevent blind searching normally associated with narrow beamforming methods.

Abstract: Data is scrambled at a transmitter according to one of a number of predetermined scrambling sequences which are associated with a particular one of a number of predetermined transmit antenna diversity schemes (i.e., a specific number of transmit antenna ports). Received data is decoded using one or more of the known transmit antenna diversity schemes and the scrambled data is descrambled according to a corresponding descrambling sequence (related to the scrambling sequence). Based on the descrambled data, the receiver determines which transmit antenna diversity scheme (i.e., the number of antenna ports) is used by the transmitter. In one specific embodiment, CRC parity data is scrambled in the transmitter and the receiver descrambles the recovered CRC parity data according to a descrambling sequence, computes CRC parity data from the received data, and compares the descrambled CRC parity data to the newly computed CRC parity data.
