Abstract: System and method embodiments are disclosed to improve radio access network coverage area, increase throughput, and reduce power consumption in user equipment (UE). Downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) are disaggregated in one or more radio units (RUs). A UE receives DL data packets from a DL RU and uploads UL data packets to a UL RU disaggregated from the DL RU. The UL RU couples to a distributed unit (DU) directly or via the DL RU such that an acknowledgment or error message for successful or unsuccessful reception of the UL data packets may be sent back to the UE via the DL RU. The DU may track a UE motion trajectory and re-map UL traffic from one UL RU to another UL RU. Embodiments of DL/UL disaggregation may improve power efficiency and be advantageous for various applications such as internet of things, cyber physical systems, 5G communications, etc.

Abstract: Synchronizing clocks across a Remote PHY network without use of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The clock used by the CCAP core may be referred to herein as a slave clock, while the clock used by each RPD may be referred to as a master clock. Time differences between each master clock and a slave clock in the Remote PHY network are tracked. Slave clocks at the core may, but need not, lock to a single RPD master clock. A CCAP core tracks differences in clock values between a singular CCAP core clock and one or more RPD clocks using clock values identified by received DEPI Latency Measurement (DLM) packets and not using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) protocol. The CCAP core determines a particular RPD clock value to use in sending a map message to a particular RPD. The CCAP core then sends a map message to the particular RPD over the network based on the determined particular RPD clock value.
