Abstract: A UE receives a system information block (SIB) from a base station. The UE determines whether the SIB includes a set of candidate repetition factors for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmissions. The UE transmits, to the base station in a message of a random access procedure, an indication of a capability of the UE for PUCCH repetition in response to determining that the SIB includes the set of candidate repetition factors. When the UE has the capability, the UE determines a particular repetition factor based on at least one of the set of candidate repetition factors and a dynamic indication of a repetition factor. When the UE has the capability, the UE further transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) of a message 4 of the random access procedure in a PUCCH in accordance with the particular repetition factor.

Abstract: A method for determining causes of network slice performance degradation in an open radio access network under Central Unit-Distributed Unit (CU-DU) split, in a setup phase, obtains and aggregates telemetries that contain multivariate observations of DUs. High order features from correlations between multivariate observations across the DUs are extracted for a specific time slot, and a k-time slots ahead performance model is learned. For detection, the performance model forecasts network slice performance for new telemetries. If degradation is forecasted, performance models are sampled and impact scores are computed based on gradients of telemetries and high order features. Network slice entities related to telemetries with impact scores exceeding a threshold are identified as causes of degradation.
