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.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a control unit. The control unit controls transmission of an inducement frame for causing another communication device to transmit a transmission suppression period reduction frame for reducing a transmission suppression period. In addition, the control unit controls transmission of the transmission suppression period reduction frame on the basis of the inducement frame in a case where the control unit receives the inducement frame. Transmission suppression periods set in other information processing apparatuses are equally reduced to eliminate inequality in using wireless resources.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to optimization and failure detection of a wireless base station network. Based on Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) measurements, a cloud server determines an optimal transmission sequence. For each base station of the optimal transmission sequence, a predecessor and a successor are designated. Each base station of the sequence generates a packet. The most distant base station (relative to the cloud server) transmits its packet to its successor. Each base station of the sequence (in turn) receives the packet from its predecessor, combines the received packet with its own generated packet, transmits the combined packet to its successor, and so on until the combined packet is relayed to a super base station at the end of the sequence. The super base station transmits the packet to the cloud server. Based on the packet size, the cloud server can ascertain which base station (if any) failed.
