  • Patent number: 11832138
    Abstract: A method performed by a first base station, is described. The first base station determines a change in one or more measurements to be performed by a UE. The measurements are associated with a first set of frequencies. The first base station also transmits a first message to a second base station comprising information regarding which frequencies in the first set are to be changed. The first base station and the second base station serve the UE. A method performed by the second base station is also described whereby the second base station receives the first message. In a method performed by the UE, the UE receives, from the first base station, a configuration message configured to specify the measurements to perform and a measurement gap configuration. The UE then takes the measurements based on the configuration message.

  • Patent number: 11805006
    Abstract: A Quality of Service (QoS) improvement system and method for transport network fault detection and QoS improvement so that a telecommunication network service provider can analyze the root cause on chronic performance issues and recommend potential solutions is disclosed. The system runs performance analysis on each AAV (mobile backhaul) or other transport networks and collects performance related metrics data. The system then selects a subset of the data related to certain key performance indicators (KPIs), such as latency, jitter, packet loss ratio, and availability. On this subset of KPI-related data, the system applies clustering techniques to identify clusters with similar performance issues. For each cluster, the system binds the AAV performance KPI data with one or more of the following site features—health, location, vendor, market, service type, etc.—to create a cluster map. The system can then generate inferences on root causes of the performance issues.

  • Patent number: 11792635
    Abstract: A wireless device handles area update reports. The wireless device initiates a radio network area update, RNAU, responsive to detecting that the wireless device has entered a cell not belonging to a radio network area, RNA, configured for the wireless device. The wireless device receives, from the wireless network, a message indicating that the wireless device's attempt to perform the RNAU has been rejected. The message includes or is accompanied by an indication that a wait time value is applicable. Responsive to the message, the wireless device sets a reject wait timer to the wait time value and performs the RNAU upon expiry of the reject wait timer. In some embodiments, the wireless device sets a periodic RNAU timer to the wait time value, responsive to the message, and performs the RNAU upon expiry of the reject wait timer and the periodic RNAU timer.

  • Patent number: 11785423
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UEs) and delivers geographic location of the UEs upon request. The wireless communication network comprises an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), Unified Data Management (UDM), and Unified Data Repository (UDR). The UDR exchanges authentication signaling for the UE with the UDM, and in response, the UDR transfers a location query for the UE to the AMF. The AMF receives the location query for the UE from the UDR, and in response, the AMF determines the geographic location of the UE and transfers a location answer to the UDR that indicates the geographic location of the UE. The UDR receives the location answer from the AMF. The UDR receives a location request for the UE from a network element, and in response, the UDR transfers a location response to the network element that indicates the geographic location of the UE.
