Abstract: An ultra-lean, low-complexity 5G/6G procedure for adjusting transmission beam parameters for optimal reception by a particular user device. The transmitter can append multiple brief test signals to each message, using a different transmission parameter for each test signal. The receiver can reply (optionally in an acknowledgement) indicating which test signal was best received. The transmitter can then use the selected value of the transmission parameter for the next message, thereby successively approaching the optimal value. Each adjustment step can be a predetermined increment value, which is added or subtracted from the previous value depending on which test signal was selected by the receiver. As conditions change (or as the user device moves), the beam parameter can be updated again upon each downlink transmission, thereby tracking the user device's preferred transmission value in realtime.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transition to communicating on a first bandwidth part from communicating on a second bandwidth part. In order to ensure that the UE is able to perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part, after transitioning to communicating on the first bandwidth part, the UE may be configured to perform receiver processing using reference signals received on the second bandwidth part. That is, for a configured period of time, before the UE is able to perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part using reference signals received on the first bandwidth part, the UE may perform receiver processing for demodulating data received on the first bandwidth part using reference signals received on the second bandwidth part.

Abstract: Data analytics reporting (DAR) of a Radio Access Network (RAN) key performance indicator (KPI) from a data extraction entity (DEE) to a data analytics entity (DAE) in a data analytics process (DAP) is performed via an interface.

Abstract: An optimisation method is presented for the transmission of data along any radio frequency link which can be split into distinct transmission blocks, an example being a beam hopping system. By reordering the packets to be transmitted, it is possible to send packets either at, or nearer to, their optimal modulation and encoding configuration. This will allow for a higher bit to symbol conversion for the majority of packets and hence more data bits can be sent for the same number of symbols.

Abstract: When a packet data session is established for a user equipment (UE), a comparative assessment of load information factors from different sets of load information factors associated with a plurality of user plane function (UPF) instances may be performed. Each set of load information factors of a UPF instance may include predicted load information factors indicative of a predicted load at the UPF instance. A UPF instance may be selected for the packet data session of the UE based on the comparative assessment. The comparative assessment may additionally consider a predicted load contribution of the packet data session to be established for the UE. A data analytics function may utilize a model (e.g. a multiple linear regression model) to calculate predicted load contribution factors, where the model is derived based on historical usage data from previous sessions of one or more UEs, for example, data from charging data records (CDRs).

A computing device may receive an error profile and a response instruction associated with the error profile, as generated by a network controller. The computing device may then monitor, for an error, on a communication Track, in a network, between an ingress node and an egress node.

The response instruction can direct the computing device to switch from the communication Track to a communication subTrack between the ingress node and the egress node.

Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for assigning paths to network packets. The path assignment techniques utilize path state information and/or other criteria to determine whether to route a packet along a primary candidate path selected for the packet, or one or more alternative candidate paths selected for the packet. According to an embodiment, network traffic is at least partially balanced by redistributing only a portion of the traffic that would have been assigned to a given primary path. Move-eligibility criteria are applied to traffic to determine whether a given packet is eligible for reassignment from a primary path to an alternative path. The move-eligibility criteria determine which portion of the network traffic to move and which portion to allow to proceed as normal. In an embodiment, the criteria and functions used to determine whether a packet is redistributable are adjusted over time based on path state information.

Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over a working network slice and a protect network slice. In the wireless communication network, the UE transfers UE capability data to a network control-plane that indicates the working network slice and the protect network slice. The network control-plane generates UE context for the working network slice and the protect network slice. The network control-plane signals the UE context to the UE and to a network user-plane. The UE and network user plane exchange user data over the working network slice based on the UE context. The UE determines when the performance of the working network slice triggers a slice switch based on the UE context. In response to the slice switch, the UE stops using the working network slice. The UE and network user-plane exchange user data over the protect network slice based on the UE context.
