  • Patent number: 11671881
    Abstract: A radio controller entity is in communication with a centralized control plane entity of a disaggregated base station, or with a monolithic base station, the disaggregated base station or monolithic base station serving wireless user equipment in a wireless network. The radio controller entity obtains from the centralized control plane entity or from the monolithic base station, a context associated with one or more user equipment served by the disaggregated base station or the monolithic base station. The radio controller entity determines a policy to be set. The policy defines a set of one or more rules, each rule including a condition and an action. The rule may include that the base station should query the radio controller for an instruction as to which action(s) to apply. The radio controller entity provides the policy to the centralized control plane entity or to the monolithic base station.

  • Patent number: 11659416
    Abstract: Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to reset a beam. A UE identifies a list of a plurality of component carriers (CCs). The UE detects a beam failure on a first CC of the plurality of CCs. The UE transmits a beam failure recovery request including a candidate beam indication of a candidate beam to a base station. The base station receives the beam failure recovery request and transmits a beam failure recovery response to the UE. The UE receives the beam failure recovery response and applies the candidate beam to at least one CC of the plurality of CCs. The UE may apply the candidate beam to every CC or to only the first CC. The UE may apply the candidate beam to the at least one CC of the plurality of CCs following a predetermined number of symbols after receiving the beam failure recovery response.
