Abstract: The disclosed technology provides systems and methods for dynamically assigning cell reselection priorities (e.g., system information block (SIB) priorities) to different layers (e.g., different frequency bands or different radio access technologies (RATs)) for radio cells experiencing performance degradation. In some implementations, default SIB priorities of degraded layers are downgraded based on the severity of the performance degradation, for example, set to the lowest variable SIB priority for critical performance degradations. The adjusted SIB priorities are broadcast to user equipment (UE) to allow the UEs to perform cell reselection based on the adjusted SIB priorities. When the performance degradation is resolved, the SIB priorities revert to the default SIB priorities.

Abstract: Generating access point-specific spatial reuse groups for a given access point (AP) includes identifying radio frequency (RF) proximate to the given AP. The given AP uses a predefined threshold value to compare against the received signal strength indicators (RSSIs) of detected signals transmitted by other APs to identify RF proximate APs. The given AP can broadcast a spatial reuse group bitmap that identifies the RF proximate APs so that stations associated with the given AP can determine whether to transmit in a channel that is already occupied by an AP.

Abstract: A system for 5G MICO mode operation of a vehicle during an ignition off mode includes a telematics unit and a telematics communication mode controller. The controller monitors energy consumption by the telematics unit and estimates a total energy consumption of the telematics unit through a time period. The controller further compares the total energy consumption to a first threshold energy consumption and a second threshold energy consumption and, when the total energy consumption is less than the first threshold energy consumption, operates the telematics unit in a first mode including unrestricted communication. The telematics communication mode controller, when the total energy consumption is between the first threshold energy consumption and the second threshold energy consumption, operates the telematics unit in a second MICO mode and, when the total energy consumption is greater than the second threshold energy consumption, deactivates communications by the telematics unit.
